I remember watching the shuttle launch in 1986 when I was 7 - Me and my daycare mates sat around with one of the adults so excited. Until it blew up - one of my earliest memories I can still recall vividly.

Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon July 20th 1969. There was no schools going on. We were living in Oakes N.D. and they closed the swimming pool so people could go home and watch it in the evening. It was like 9pm or right in there when he stepped off the ladder.

I'd just finished shoveling the neighbor's driveways. It was a snow day, I didn't see it live like the second tower being hit. It was the same type shock.

BTW: The astronauts were not stranded. They go up prepared for an extended mission. They also didn't "always have a ride home" Android Scott Kelly without compromising emergency evac.

Musk tonight interview, his falcon rocket 1700mph in 9 minutes. Amazing accomplishment.

Why did we get rid of the shuttle system? Seems to me like we've gone backwards with space technology. Why can't they fly something like a real spaceship instead of drop from the sky in a fricking bobber?:unsure:

Backwards? Musk and his team are catching rocket boosters out of the fn sky so they can reuse them.

Leave the rocket science to the rocket scientists please.
