    I watched it too :) Thought they were going to abandon the mission when the countdown froze at 31seconds!

    I remember watching the very first Shuttle launch (Colombia, the one that sadly exploded) and its return home after 3 days I think it was. 1981. I was a 10 year old star wars nut at the time and these shuttle missions were magical to me. I had hoped to witness a launch live when I was on holiday in Florida, specifically timed for the launch but it had been postponed :(

    Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.

    I'd recommend rice cakes if you feel peckish, too much saturated fat in mars.

    Oh I am I silly mood this afternoon
