This afternoon something wonderful happened.
Something that makes the Riots and Pandemic small in the larger scheme of the universe.
A rocket launch.
A rocket launch which Echoed Apollo Man Missions of the late 60s and 70s.
Demos 2 AKA Dragon had its first two astronaunt mission this afternoon.
Demos 2 as it's called was bult by SpaceX and her familiar capsule Dragon carried two astronaunts into low earth orbit this afternoon. The Falcon 9 blasted off Pad 39A at Cape Kennedy,Florida,the Space Coast. Unlike the NASA Saturn V,and later the Space Shuttle,Falcon 9 appeared smaller than the old Saturn V rockets of 60years ago.
When Falcon 9 roared off the pad this afternoon suddenly everything like riots and pandemic disappeared from my own psyche. Within a few minutes Falcon 9 was in space it's first stage separated and 9minutes later the final stage separated from the Dragon.
At that momet,that second,everything earthbound didn't matter. Dragon is now in earth orbit,below the rioters,which to the astronaunts they're minutely small in vast cold expanse of space. Dragon is headed toward ISS Space Station.
Update this morning:
Dragon has made a successful dock with the ISS Space Station in orbit above. No word from the two astronauts who successful docked with the station overnight. That's the best news.
Historical note:
In December of 1968,the first three man Apollo Capsule orbited the Moon successfully. I recall it like yesterday becouse I was young kid then and I watch the legacy news cover it under achorship of Walter Cronkite.
Yesterday,was a Echos of Apollo and by 2024 NASA will have thier Project Artemis in orbit around the moon.
Just a concluding reminder Space is infinite and our problems on this small world call Earth are miniscule in the larger scheme of the Universe and the stars around us. Just a thought,that make you think.
