Space-X Falcon 9/Dragon launch

[Phantom309]

Just walked outside and watched the Falcon 9 head for the stars.....
Was a bit overcast but can't escape the sight of the engines blasting out that flame.
Had good rolling rumble (makes chill bumps come on) ......
I worked on that launch pad a little (welding) .......
All the folks over there (engineers) were really young people = new refreshing
views of how to do it, = all of em real nice folks ........
(NASA people = arragant azzholes)
GO Space X ! ! ! !

Read about the night launch and wondering if I would be able to see it from up here in E TN, too many clouds. I doubt I would have been able to see it here but was worth walking outside to see anyways.

I was fortunate enough to see an early morning launch of a Shuttle back in late 91 or early 92 from the Orlando area. WOW is all I can say. When those engines went off, it was like someone flipped the switch on the sun, those things lit up the horizon in what seemed like an instance. An amazing site.

Read where the x9 had one engine to go boom, but the rest of everything worked as designed and will still deliver the mail on time. Good to see private enterprise is still around.
