    I might be the only one here who didn't go to rocket school, but it's still cool firing really big bullets into the atmosphere.

    [Edited] Between SpaceX & ULA (United Launch Alliance; Headquartered in Denver) are pushing hard this year to get man-rated capsules back in operation in the United States. It's long overdue and I wish them both great success.

    I can barely figure out how to turn the TV on to WATCH a rocket launch... I have zero aptitude for math.
