Hello from Greece! Great intro video !

[moonshot]

Greetings from Germany, Radebeul in Saxony (west of Dresden...) Hi!... space flight enthusiasts do know that pushing this behemoth to space is NOT like leaving the bus depot for the first morning tour. Even some time in the future we will experience scrubs! Better than a "kaboom"; quote Felix. It is OK!

Hi From the UK, love the channel and WAI is my goto for Space X and rocket news... YOU ROCK!!!

Can you refrain from putting spoilers in the video title for 24 hours or so? Last nights launch was to late for us here and I purposefully stayed away from all news till I could watch from the start in the morning.
