    Let's Light This Candle, Part Deux

    Second attempt, launch due at 3:22 ET.

    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    There's nothing civil about this war.

    Credit goes to Alan Shepard, may peace be upon him. He said it on May 5, 1961 during an unplanned hold of the launch of Freedom 7.

    Beautiful launch, great video feed from inside the capsule, and a successful recovery of the first stage.

    Finally, no more dependence on the Russians.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    As a kid who watched the Apollo 11 landing on a small B&W television at our home in Hawaii and was a certifiable space nut, that almost brought me to tears.
    We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
