(2/n) So glad I didn't injure myself sprinting down the bleachers, screaming like a banshee, bear-hugging my Cape software colleagues, and high-fiving the NASA Public Affairs guy. Then it was time to drive back while swapping stories on the phone from my friends back in LA...!

(1/n) My first space launch in person! Incredible to see: ascent, boost back, reentry (felt like it was right above our heads!), and landing (man it was falling fast at the start of the burn)! (Pre-launch cell phone photo from Banana Creek Viewing Area at KSC, 10km from SLC-40.)

Eight years ago today, SpaceX successfully landed an orbital class rocket for the first time. Since that time, SpaceX has landed Falcon rockets more than 250 times and counting

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.
