!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! there are 2 people floating around a vehicle going more than 17000 miles per hour, about 255 miles up in the sky.
Oh and earlier today we launched a unmanned rocket into space that will match up it’s speed and course over the next 2 days with a tiny little spec somewhere in orbit.
But it’s okay, it a routine resupply mission. We do this on the regular. This is the

we’re doing it.
And to top it off, why not send a rocket up later today, deliver it’s payload into orbit and have the major part of that rocket, a part that went as high up as 50 miles up in the air while reaching mach 9, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on the ground close to where it launched.
Yup. Just another day.

If theres anything I love more than cars its aerospace.
If I can leave work on time today, I may be able to watch the launch tonight from Cocoa. If it doesnt get scrubbed.

Awesome! I’d love to watch a launch some day! Unfortunately there isn’t much launching in the Netherlands.. Did get to visit ESTEC in Noordwijk this year though.

Its amazing. Everyone should experience it at least once. That ESTEC place looks cool. Where does ESA launch from?

Mainly from Kourou in French Guiana and Kazachstan I believe.
And yeah ESTEC is a cool place, but also in the area around it, there is a booming industry of space tech companies. It’s something very few people seem to be aware of.
