Bezos' Blue Origin to launch @0800 CST this morning

I thought it was 3-4 minutes of weightlessness?

Not even close! The entire flight was @10 min., they did not maintain peak altitude at all. Up, the down. I seem to remember on descent they were still going 400 mph at ONLY 4000 feet. I thought ugliness was headed for the screen.

I hope it’s cheap enough for the flat earthers to buy a ticket.

Yep, like lobbing a soft pitch. It went up, separated the capsule which then continued unpowered to apogee, then fell back to the surface.

Von Braun started some shit. Didn't he?

There's a recap on Discovery channel now, it started at 9p.

Did they go high enough to see the curvature?

Astronauts and bull riders.

Some folks just have to scratch an itch.

When does Amazon Prime start delivering to the ISS?

Not until New Glenn, maybe 2026...

You were right but, so was I.
They experienced weightlessness during the decent.
