We Choose To Go To The Moon In This Decade And Do The Other Things, Not Because They Are Easy, But Because

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.

I'm watching the launch now, half an hour to go!

This is the first NASA astronaut launch since 2011. I wanted to go to Cape Canaveral to watch but instead I'm watching from afar :)

(Edit: they’ve put off the launch till Saturday due to weather)
