It’s a few days old but I have been hella busy and didn’t catch it. Tears in my eyes. I just love science so much.

My wife and I got to watch the launch of the Mars mission from Cape Kennedy last Saturday as we picked up our packets for the Space Coast half marathon. It was very cool to see indeed!

You and the Misses going to visit family for the holidays?

Definitely cool. Had a thread about it Saturday during the launch:

I hadn’t seen the separation video yet since I only got a chance to watch the first part of the launch before I had to run out of the house. There is supposed to end up being video of the landing on Mars too. Looking forward to that. Only another 8.5 months to go.

I can see Awnolds eyes bulging at this great event!!

Gonna hang at the casa.

I was joking, since you titled the thread “We are Mars bound”… My humor usually falls dead flat.

Don’t shame spiral! I am exhausted and my brain fog is frustratingly bad today so I can barely focus. My family isn’t cool enough to be on Mars. We would just be like in a mobile home park on the dark side of the moon.

That’s funny. Speaking of the dark side of the moon, anyone see the movie Moon? Great flick. Never really cared for Sam Rockwell but great performance in this one.
