DocM Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Sounds like a big crowd... https://www.orlandosentinel.com/space/os-bz-spacex-falcon-heavy-advance-20190402-story.html Quote Space fans descend from around the world for the launch of SpaceX's powerful Falcon Heavy One will drive through the night, 12 hours non-stop across three states. Another will catch a five-hour flight, from a humble Midwestern town known for salt, to a Southern city known for space. And another still will traverse the Atlantic Ocean, enduring a layover and 17 hours of travel for a glimpse at the most powerful rocket since men walked on the moon SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket commands that kind of awe, the sort that will lure space enthusiasts from behind their computer screens for a taste of the real rumble of a rocket launch. More than 100,000 are expected to come out when Falcon Heavy attempts its first commercial launch. > 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites

DocM Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Oooooo....to have been a fly on the wall.... https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/nasa-s-17-billion-moon-rocket-may-be-doomed-it-ncna991061 Quote > "I'll never forget being at Marshall with the leadership team the day that SpaceX announced the Heavy," said Lori Garver, NASA's deputy administrator from 2009 to 2013. She recalls NASA officials telling her: "Lori, you have got to tell your friend Elon he can't do that. He's in our lane. You made us get out of low-Earth orbit, so we've given him that lane, but this is our lane. We build the big rockets." > 😏🚀🚀 😃 2 Share Link to post Share on other sites
