Loved it! It was about time. Re-using old tech Space Shuttle engines was a large part of the problem. I am not a fan of the ULA who are still using RD-180 engines in their Atlas ISS launch vehicles until they run out. The ULA (United Launch Alliance) is Boeing and Lockheed and despite NASA contracting with them, is is essentially a ULA project. Space X was brought in for the Artemis 3 lunar lander and more last month. More in another post about the costs and companies involved rather than go off topic in this thread.

I am all for the space program as long as there is a level playing field and actual competition gets the taxpayers the best prices for our tax dollars.

So glad it made it! It was great!

That was really cool to see it launch.

Have you followed any of the Spacex launches?

Yes on both. Exciting times to be alive.
