And you folks just wanna play Sickcell and Wierdbert with "movies". https://www.spacex.com/launches/Not bad for a few BILLION less than NASA probably spends on diversity training.

According to the news this will make eleven astronauts on the ISS with only nine beds, so two will have to use sleeping bags attached to the walls until four return to Earth next week. On the other hand, one of the ones who went up today is the wife of one of those already up there, so maybe they can double up.
SALUTE TO ALL!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who see's the similarity between now and 1969. When man landed on the moon it was juxtaposed with a grueling foreign war, civil unrest and massive cultural/political upheaval at home. I think many people are still moved by these type of accomplishments, it just seems to be a lot less significant to the people who decide what we should be concerned with.

In 1968 / 69 there was a pandemic too, which everyone seems to have forgotten about. Not trivial either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_flu
