That was the real time of the gap between the rocket lighting and then the sound that we heard across the water of the launch, and then this just absolutely spectacular launch of the rocket, then disappearing into this clear blue sky, sort of arching overhead.
And then you could actually see the, the solid rocket boosters drop from it.
Some people had been there time and time again, and, you know, it hadn't happened.
Like, once the launch window opened, uh, you know, I was sitting with family trying to say, "Yes, okay.
"This could be two more hours if we're leaving it to the last minute." And then just to see it go 10 minutes later, I, I couldn't, I couldn't believe it.
What was it like being there, Richard? I mean, I think we were all popping off on the WhatsApp group.
What was quite sad really was a lot of journalists there, a great deal of journalists there, but they were having to file all the time for their outlets, and they were just stuck in this room effectively watching the launch unfold on TV.
There were quite a few astronauts kicking around, so, uh, talked to them as well.
