OT: Space-X shuttle launch in about 40mins

Just a reminder for anyone near a TV.... Elon's rocket is set to go at 4:27pm today carrying our astronauts. Coverage on CSPAN and NASA channels now. Weather looks pretty good, so I think this is going to go.

Feels like I'm back in the '60's watching Mercury, Gemini & Apollo.

My former customer came up with and designed the black paint on the rockets etc. in the old days they visually tracked them w cameras so the black paint allowed them to visually see the pitch and yaw. Cool stuff.

Living history is quite a feeling.
