Budget shouldn't matter really, we should be pushing the boundaries all the time and space exploration is such an underrated part of what we should be using our money on.

I am a recent full-blown space nerd :). I always liked star wars and sci-fi, but now I am a fan of real space and real science and that is new for me. I attribute this to the Kerbal Space Program (KSP) video game, which showed me just how hard it is to get a rocket into orbit. With this newfound appreciation for sending things into orbit, I have gotten more interested in Astronomy and everything else space and rockets related. I have doven deeply into NASA the ISS & past missions, Space X, ESA, ULA. I want to show my thanks and appreciation to everyone involved in all the space programs around the world. This will also be my 1st live launch viewing so I am super excited!!!

Hope the rover gets there!

I'm here and ready to hit a secluded beach about 7 miles from the launchpad. I'm 65, saved uo the money to see this, and I travelled alone from Missouri to see this!
