Liftoff! - BostonCard - 05-30-2020

Very off topic, but how cool is it that SpaceX dragon capsule blasted off today with two astronauts to rendezvous with the space station.

Very cool, but every time they say “Bob and Doug” I think of the Great White North. I don’t think I’m the only one

But there is a Stanford connection:


Stanford alumnus Zebulon "Zeb" Scoville '97 is Flight Director for Wednesday's scheduled SpaceX launch. If successful, this would be first time ever launch into orbit of a commercially owned and operated space vehicle.

Trust me JJJ, you're not the only one.
And BC, it sure is nice to turn on the tv and see some good news for a change.

I'm pretty jacked about the upcoming Mars mission after viewing the "60" piece last Sunday. A rover that will acquire Mars dust and rocks and get them back to earth. Our grandkids and great grandkids are going to have a chance to travel to Mars if all goes well in the next 20 years.
