I'll try.
T minus 30 mins, fuel load in progress.

Now 19 hours till docking.
Well, one thing no one can say is that it was an ordinary birthday for me today, 2020 will be one to be remembered for the rest of my life for more than one reason. History and History.
It's a pod system.
fresh lines !
Agree @Silver , what surprised me the most was the speed between ignition and liftoff, it was virtually immediately, man, something to behold for sure.
That's why I don't use pods.
I missed this. Worse than a VG allergy.
Slightly off topic :
“X Æ A-12 Musk” doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue — but that’s the name SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and musician Claire “Grimes” Boucher gave their newborn baby earlier this month.
In case you’re curious about the original meaning of the baby’s name, here’s a confusing explanation courtesy of Grimes: “X” represents an “unknown variable.” “Æ” is Grimes’ “elven spelling of Ai.” And “A-12” is =the couple’s “favorite aircraft.”

Amazing , just watched on YT . Goosebumps...
You should have seen it last night. Bunch of men witnessed a "successful liftoff" and general mood improves all over the world.

I straighten other people’s pictures.
and the space boys woke up this morning to this song - no lies
And seeing that we are in space mode :

Now that’s cool. The astronomy community in this country is (was?) outstanding and this would add some prestige.
Managed to see 9 Starlink sats around 06h00 a couple of weeks ago and the ISS 3 days later. From Jhb! Lockdown has given us clear skies at least.
