Not space for trains space is in outer space. I'm visiting my step-mom in central Fla. She lives within a few miles of the cape. We can stand out in her yard and watch the rockets take off. Just watched Musk's latest venture take flight. Always amazes me to see those boosters come back down and land back on the launch pad.
That's got to be a real blast......

Pun intended I'm sure!

Don't believe everything you see. I understand that it's all...uh, staged...

Yep, I should never believe my own lying eyes!

Mike,
that is so cool.
when I see those videos of the boosters touching down, I feel like I'm living in a 1950's Heinlein novel.

It was just a shot in the dark...

We were once told that you shouldn't plan a vacation mainly around a space shot as they are not reliable on their timetables.
If it happens while you're there, then good.
David I'm here anyway, the launches are a bonus. And yes they have postponed several since I got here due to weather mostly.
