Was I the only one nervous? Expecting some Challenger type shit? Soooooo glad this went so well.

nah even NASA admitted they succumbed to pressure for Challenger. They have sensors for the sensors now. I was glad I was able to get home to watch it on my TV.

Lets see how much CGI has improved in the past 50 years.

Any guesses that the return to the moon will cost more adjusted for inflation than we spent in the entire decade of the 60s to get their the first time?

The real telling part will be if somehow the stuff that worked in the 60's (radio communication, video that you could make out things in, etc) just doesn't seem to function on this one.

Really surprised they don't have some aircraft flying around with a professional recording it. I mean, I would've assumed airspace that close would be closed, but since it's not, why not capture something awesome officially?

The helicopters and aircraft NASA uses to photograph and video the launches would probably be surprised they don't exist as well.

Not counting the smell from #2, the bigger issue would be the urine. That is going to take up way more volume and be harder to store - plus if a bag ruptures, you have a risk of liquid droplets getting into the electronics

but isn't that pretty much exactly what they did in 69-72?
