As we watched the launch last night, I thought about our Space Coast Meetup. I remember how excited NASA employees were about the mission, from technical experts to the saleslady at the cash credit card register. Neutral observer and I were thrilled at the successful launch, and pray our astronauts have a safe journey and return.

I also felt a little bit of kinship with one of the astronauts (Christina Koch) because she went to my alma mater, NC State. She has a BS in Physics, another in Electrical Engineering, and an MS in Electrical Engineering.

How do the rest of you Ricochetti feel? Excited? Indifferent?

    I’m excited about the mission but SLS is a dead-end rocket. Starship is the future.

    I think it is very important not to abandon our exploration of space. We have been too busy fighting Islamism and Communism in the first two decades of the 21st Century and have lost focus on the future of mankind.

    I don’t know how I feel about the space program. But I do know this is why I stay on Ricochet. I love everyone’s stories about what’s going on — or has gone on — with their lives
