My wife was watching a show about plane spotters, and them watching the last 747 flight from the UK. I was making some flippant comment, like, come on this is such a weird hobby.
She then pointed out that I know the ID of every active SpaceX booster, including prototypes, and watch nearly every launch live.
Oh no. I'm a rocket spotter.
