224am: Renee and I are out in the parking lot at the Radisson Resort facing Astronaut Blvd in Cape Canaveral. Space X is supposed to launch at 248am. I tried to sleep, but I took about a 3 hour nap yesterday after a long lunch over 2 bottles of wine ðŸ·. So I’m wide eyed and looking north east towards Kennedy Space Center which is about 5 miles away. Sky is clear, wind is low, temp is mild. 240am: I had the count down notes but then it wanted me to sign in, but says I don’t have a proper something in my browser. But I had it! No problem… 6 minutes. I don’t need to hear the countdown, I think I will hear it roaring. This is the 17th delivery of supplies to the space station. It must go at 2:48am and 58 seconds in order to meet the space station in a few days. T minus 2… Listening to count…. Go for launch! T minus 15…. Lift off! Separation looked like a giant explosion. I of course was afraid! But NASA said it is wonderful. We waited for the booster to come back and the Sonic boom, and now it’s bedtime! God bless us!
