Space stuff

[Giles]

@pechelman To tell you the truth, I'm pretty neutral about space exploration stuff, but I teared up at the human magnitude of that achievement. Extraordinary.....

Why would NASA risk ruining their own credibility regarding a mission to return to the MOON, by scheduling it on APRIL FOOLS DAY?! Aren't there already enough skeptics? That's an Elon-level troll.....I approve.

@WhiskeySandwich I clicked on this thread expecting it to be "WTS to make space"... of course the IH forum has a space thread

Yeah it's a little crazy it's on April fools, I love a good ol' conspiracy theory and I'm sure this "return to the moon" will have people saying they didn't actually go back (or go to begin with)

Pretty cool though.

If I was the guy scheduling this stuff, and it made the most sense from a successful mission POV, the very last thing that I would be bothered about would be whether it was 1st April or any of the other 364/5 days of the year......

Rocket launches and iron heart releases are very similar; IWHWIH.

Hard to believe that I was only a few months old when the last man walked on the moon. Grew up thinking and reading that we would all have that chance. Probably won’t happen in my lifetime, but today gives me a little hope that younger generations could.

The possibility of the unknown is a great opportunity for all of us.

@Giles oh I agree my previous post was a product of my childish mind and what I find to be hilarious irony

I am on call until midnight so letting my daughter stay up to watch the launch with me. As long as it doesn’t get pushed back late into the launch window.

@WhiskeySandwich

Looks like you may have been right

space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
