ORIGINAL: rader I work at SpaceX and have been on-console for several launches (my mission was the last Falcon Heavy). I was super nervous during the countdown. Right after ignition I had this sudden realization "holy ****, there's people on the rocket." Very cool, rader. I have my grandkids with me today. We watched and they cheered when the rocket lifted up. My granddaughter's eyes were as big as grandma's biscuits - lol. I was looking at those touch screens and the big-a$$ed gloves Doug and Bob had on... We got in an Amazon order last night - one of those large boxes. It became their module. With bowls on their heads and gardening gloves on their hands, (plus a lot of imagination on their part) they went up into space. You can tell Bob and Doug they beat them to the space station - lol.
