We're gonna sit out by the lake to (hopefully) watch the launch this evening. I was less than six months old the last time we went to the moon, so as a space nerd I'm super excited (though not excited enough to fight the expected 400-500k large crowd...).

My friend who lives in Michigan but also has a place on Fripp Island, SC, messaged me he was planning on attending the launch back when it was first scheduled. I sent a reply "I will be watching from my driveway!"

I knew he was subtly suggesting we both go.

Now with the delays he's back in Michigan with 4 family birthdays - plus his - so is staying there for the launch.

I will still be on my driveway.....

Happy to - but my point and shoot camera won't provide much in quality. There will be plenty of videos on social media incl. You Tube.

I was a month late coming into the world for Apollo 11, LOL. But my Dad made sure I was up for the 1st shuttle launch in '81 on Sunday morning. We are nerds still. I texted him to remind him the live stream is on YouTube and the launch is at 5:20ish PM Central time. These are TOS Trekkie moments for all of us
