Not only will it be the first time astronauts have lifted off into space from American soil since 2011, it will also be the first time they do so from atop a rocket since July 15, 1975 when Apollo lifted off for the final time.

Forgive my ignorance, but how did we get people into space not atop a rocket for the last 45 years?

Sweet so we are back to utilizing 1975 tech in 2020.

How old do you think the Soyuz we've been using last decade is? Shuttle was useless, outside of blowing up and getting budgets slashed.

Am planning to road trip down to get close to the launch. Space Center is closed but lots of parks to view from.

My grandpa worked for McDonnell Douglas 40+ years building space shite. We watched countless launches on the river side of us1... right next to where the miracle city mall was. Great free spot to watch from. Countless similar areas up and down the Indian river.

Which had a much better track record than the space shuttle.
So there's that.

I guess the solid boosters on the space station are not considered rockets?
