I checked in when there was more than four hours to go.

When I was a kid we used to watch the Apollo launches, and when I was a daft young eejit we used to watch the Shuttle launches.
Now I watch SpaceX and the like. But today is special.

April 12th 1981 , The Columbia lifting off from the pad. Seeing us get back into space amazing.

Getting back into space , going back to the Moon , Mars and beyond is something that we ultimately need to do.

Today is special. (at T-40 minutes and holding) I cannot really fathom how incredibly moved I am by this. It feels like we should have been here 40+ years ago.

For some reason, this bings to mind Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Into Infinity .

Good to see ESA's logo slapped on the side. This isn't just the USA going.
