It was so refreshing to see a complicated technical achievement pulled off flawlessly. I really needed that bit of good news. I think seeing a live launch just got on my short bucket list.

And two guys left Earth, good decision.....

It was great seeing the U.S. finally getting back into launching astronauts using its own rocket.

I didn't really think about it when I moved to FL, but I was at the golf course chipping area one evening when I looked up and saw a rocket going up. It's REALLY cool to watch.

When I heard that Bob and Doug were the astronauts, I was hoping that we might be getting a new episode of the great white north from SCTV.

I wondered the same thing. I wonder if they said, “Take off you hoser.” At launch.

 This kind of blew my mind! I hunted around the dial looking for launch coverage and couldn't find any, so I settled in with the golf re-run. Then CBS cut in with launch coverage, which made me happy. I was so proud to see private industry achieve this level of competence! We had live coverage of images inside the capsule while the thing was still going up! We had crystal clear images of stage separations. The booster returned to Earth landing upright on a barge floating in the Atlantic! 

HUH?!!! The technology is amazing!

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
