Good luck!! About time we start sending our own folks back to the Space Station. :aok

If anyone is interested, the launch is scheduled for 19:27 Eastern Standard Time (00:27 GMT).  SpaceX will stream it starting about 30 minutes prior to launch time, and several other youtube channels will almost certainly have livestreams.

Not sure I ever implied it was a complete USofA flight but just that America finally regained the ability to send it's own astronauts to the ISS and space.

Another great achievement for mankind and America! I truly hope we get a person on Mars in the next 5 years.

Stepping away. You seem to want an argument. The way you comprehend things is beyond me.

all of the timelines are hilariously optimistic. NASA claims they are gonna put men back on the moon in 2024. I would bet my life that it will be at least 5 and maybe as much as 10 years beyond that. I think they try to keep people hyped to get funding. I know the shuttle was a death trap, but man I miss watching that baby take off and then land. The maneuvers that it had to go through to slow down and eventually land were pretty freakin cool. Man I miss the old days.
