When I was a kid in the sixties I always watched the Launches. I still enjoy this.

Stepping into a Boeing spacecraft..
Proof that astronauts are the bravest human beings in and off this world.

Takeoffs and landings are the most worrisome. I’ve watched these for decades and I barely breathe during the launch and landing. Brave and dedicated crew. Bravo for the new pump!

She went right over my head here on the Coast of Maine around 5 mins into flight and i managed to capture her in clear blue skies on my web cam. 😎🚀

Seems like they're using the new technique called "tightening the bolt" 😂

We're back in space. Frickin awesome.

I'm conflicted with a kid with obviously no science or engineering background doing the commentary.
That she is the child of two astronauts does give her a visceral love of space flight and a unique admiration for the astronauts. Which is pretty great.

After watching so many NASA launches on TV as a kid back in the 60s and 70s, I was lucky enough to watch one for real back in January when 3 Astronauts headed towards the ISS. An astonishing experience for an ageing Brit, I can tell you!

That aircraft looks like a giant-

*“JOHNSON!!”*

"Thanks for telling us about the pieces falling off everywhere." When did the reporter say anything about that being part of the design??? I've rewound and replayed it a bunch and can't find her saying anything about that.

I keep looking at that rocket and all I can keep hearing in my head is the Austin Powers

Wishing them a success on this mission!

Sunita Williams, back to the space station. She's a legend.

[peters.vermeire]

They even installed camera’s for us to view something during the launch ! What an achievement. Let’s cross our fingers for a safe mission.

Dont tell the flat earthed you can see the curve

[emmettebramble]

Nothing compares to watching the space shuttles back in the day

[twogamer]

When NASA signed the Boeing + ULA contract, who would knew it took them so long than SpaceX. But congrats to those who have worked hard towards this. Wish things go better and faster from this catching point on.

CNN: Let's listen to the official NASA countdown
Boeing:
CNN: Ok, i guess it flew away on it's own

3:50 I'm glad the reporter had her travelling companion handy!

[andrewparker]

Boeing really needed this win, I'm very happy for them!😄🚀

All Americans should be proud today
and perhaps also give your American company, Boeing, the credit for this excellent work.
I certainly don't see Belgian rockets launching!
Greetings from Europe!
