- dougmwne 6y agoIt is becoming mundane. I was in bed when I heard the launch. I didn't bother getting up to look since thy just launched one from the Cape a few days ago. I'll catch the next night launch. Those are spectacular.

To put this into perspective, at one time we thought each plane taking off and landing was amazing and even the same just for launching a rocket. Now only the mishaps are event worthy
