Is it not possible to just watch/enjoy something without your politics? This has nothing to do with that and everything that has lead to this spanned multiple administrations exactly because multiple administrations kept their hands off of it, unlike countless other space projects. I feel sorry for you if everything in the world boils down to politics, must be exhausting and stressful.

It's super clear. It was faint but I could even make out the plume of expanded exhaust gas following it. This was from near the southern tip of WV.

I was 8 years old when man first walked on the moon.
Was at my grandma and grandpa’s house that summer with my family.

Was always fascinated with the space program since I was a kid.
I remember the fire on Apollo 1- what a tragedy.
I looked up at the moon and could not believe men were on the moon while I was looking at it from earth.
Can remember it like yesterday even though I was 8 years old!!

Every time I see a launch into space I always think it is awesome.
