Saw a report this morning that I found interesting. They were discussing the “seven minutes of terror”. Apparently in the last seven minutes of the descent there is no control from the folks here on earth. Great title for this. :D

I've been told that the landing will be carried by The Weather Channel but haven't been able to confirm it ...

 I hope they do find something there. We need a place to send a few folks that are here making life miserable here for us good people. I have a list that will take a while to get through depending on how many seats are in that rocket.
About 500+ right off the top of my head.
100 of one and 435, plus two.
Then :lol:
