SpaceX Falcon 9. #abevil30

Saturday at 2:49am March 2, I attended an event at the Kennedy Space Center for the liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 for Demo-1, the first flight test of the company’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. It was a VERY long night, but I took some great pictures to share. Met some great people and had an awesome time. I also met Astronaut Bob Springer who flew as a Mission Specialist on two NASA Space Shuttle missions in 1989 and 1990 and Bruce Tuthill, son of Roger Tuthill electrical engineer that led to an active career in astronomy, both as an amateur observer and inventor. Among his inventions was the Solar Skreen, a device used by astronomers around the world to view the sun during an eclipse.
