Came in late, just in time for fueling to start. Wanted to hear the infamous “NSF Sticker Podcast” so I had to go back and start over from the beginning after the launch. Glad I did, beautiful weather shots, rainbow shots, and great conversation!!!!!

So happy for Alex to see his first rocket launch. May there be many more! Now, why doesn't Ryan think he will ever see a live launch? Sutherland can't be that far away.
