The Urge to Win

Witness to Launch

I was able to cross off another bucket list item on April 20. But it also added an item to my bucket list. Now I want to see the booster and/or starship return autonomously to the launch mount. Ever since the Saturn V rocket took to the air, I’ve wanted to see a big rocket launch in person. I had the opinion it would be at least interesting. Yes, I’m somewhat of a nerd even though I’m less young than I was back in those days.
