My dad was a NASA contractor before there was NASA - I grew up in Brevard County (PAFB) in the mid-50s watching early launches. My dad wrote the flight control software for the Saturn-V Apollo launches.
My dad has an award for supporting the Apollo launches, including the moon missions.
I have a plaque for supporting the first Shuttle launch and I supported the last Shuttle launch.
Both of my sons have been NASA contractors.
I now live in a Cape Canaveral condo and have a view from my north balcony of every launch pad and will watch next week's launch with great admiration for everyone who historically and currently played a role in getting us to this milestone, albeit on SpaceX boosters.
POTUS DJT and VP Pence will attend - Elon will attend - as will several hundred thousand patriots - GODSPEED Crew Dragon Flight DM-2.

Glad to see so many threads on this launch lately. Hopefully this can get Americans excited about space again. So many big things happening right now with commercial crew program, Artimas, Starship, SLS, Blue origin’s New Glen and Blue Moon and it seems like no one is paying attention. Can’t imagine what it was like during the space race.
