Josh Dobbs is the only one I’ve heard who actually is involved with SEC sports, who has also worked with NASA but he went to UT.

It is a little known fact that SEC schools quietly have a lot of ties to NASA.

That was a beautiful launch. It’s good to see private industry included in the space program. Most notable to me was the spectacular landing of the first-stage booster on the drone ship after re-entry. That used to be scifi stuff.

It went flawless. Amazing job by all!
What a phenomenal feat!

The SEC does indeed.
Sometimes you have to hide those ties because a disaster could happen and have to keep the technology quite for 3 years, but it finally paid off in 2020 my Engineering Baws!
Beautiful launch and dock!

One of my Clan-mates on War Machines is a SpaceX engineer. His work took off yesterday.
Nice guy, too.

Yep, I know MSU has done a lot of work with NASA.

Glad we can finally launch from US soil and not have to depend on RosCosmos to get to the ISS that was put up largely by us with the Shuttle. Great job SpaceX. Now I pray the crew and craft return safely to earth.
Meanwhile, Boeing is still sputtering around. It will be next year at the earliest before a CST-100 Starliner crewed launch.
Can't help but feel we have wasted time and taken several steps back with every president changing goals for manned flight. Back to the moon and on to Mars!

We did not expect the Space Shuttles to be as fragile as they turned out to be. And we absolutely should have been aware of the dangers. That set us back quite a bit.
On the plus side our engineering and technology is leaps and bounds ahead of what it once was. We can go to the moon. Hell, we can go to Mars if we are willing to take the risks to get there.
There is the potential that we are entering a golden age of space exploration.

I feel uneasy about Boeing. I’d rather SpaceX run the show. Boeing has shown a tendency to cut corners lately. That’s especially dangerous in the space program.

4 decades... had we not wasted time and resources on that, we'd have an American space station, with some euro parts.
