7 men watched space history to start their weekend early….
– 0531, and no sign of the Q that was signed up on the calendar. Fabio was nowhere to be found.
– 0532 Vortex confesses that he signed Fabio up without his consent, so we set-off aimlessly and without a leader
– Somehow, YHC still manages to surprise himself with his raw leadership talent, creating an ad hoc route which brought us past Dandelion's new house, a GECKO sighting, AND a spectacular Dragon X rocket launch over Lake Norman
– Such trust in me was demonstrated by Vortex who immediately discredits me after I deftly spot the Dragon in the eastern sky.
– We were able to see Max Q and stage separation as it raced across the sky
– VERY nerdy space discussion was held on the return trip to the AO. Terms were thrown around like: space debris, Max Q (Maximum Dynamic Pressure), yaw and pitch to name a few.
– Shirley relived his now distant memories of becoming an astronaut.
– GW seemed to enjoy the Dragon X show, before going back to talking about jeep tires and things
– Einhorn has found peace with his new fake F3 name Horny Elk
– Mater "heaps" praise upon YHC around his ability to step up and lead in times of adversity
– I feel sorry for whoever tries to Q next
– I have spoken
