I’ll be watching. Will be good to have our own ability to get people to the ISS again.

Aww snap. I thought launching with people on board was a few years out. Guess I’ll be streaming it working then.

It’s finally coming together!

Though if you want something potentially a few years out, Boeing’s manned entry almost certainly won’t launch until next year (they are currently planning an unmanned test for late fall, to make up for the test flight they botched late last year). And who knows if that will go off as planned.

Meanwhile NASA is pushing as hard as possible (with their budget) for a Moon landing in 2024, though that seems unlikely right now given the pace of development.

It’s been back and forth between 40% and 60% all weekend. Backup launch date is Saturday, FWIW.
