Hi All,
It is 2:05 AM and I just watched an awesome and historic rocket launch.
The NASA Space Launch System's first flight lifted off after months of technical (helium leaks) and meteorological (2 hurricanes) delays.
The pointy end was up
and the flamy end was down.
This is what 8,000,000 pounds of thrust looks like in the night sky. More powerful than the Saturn 5 of the Apollo program.
As the rocket speeds away, the two spent solid rocket boosters detach.
Soon after, NASA reported a successful orbit insertion.
Congratulations to everyone on the NASA and Contractor teams.
