It's great when people can live out their dreams I like that no matter how improbable..

[whoami]

Not much to see but it's quite something that private space travel has moved from science fiction to fact.

Our grandkids could be space pilots 😂 the future is awesome yet scary at the same time

Conspiracists and people who only know one or two news, speak with such confidence. It really doesn’t take much for a person to act like they can school you jeez…

How are they recording this from that angle

[threemileteacher]

At 1:15, the pancake rocket is obviously moving. At 2:15, no movement or shaking, just jet exhaust. I'm sure that they have a perfectly a good excuse for the special effects.
