Me with the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, October 7. It left the Earth’s bounds less than 7 hours later. 


Here are some links to the SpaceX press conferences that took place from October 6 to October 7. For some reason, Blogger isn’t letting me embed video, so click on these links:

These links are courtesy of NASA Television on YouTube. I own nothing…except the amazing bitchface in the top video from 38:33 – 38:57. Also, I’m asking a question at 24:34 in the second video…woot!
