My wife and I watched the Falcon 9 launch from Epcot a couple of weeks ago. It felt like the most American retro futurist thing I'll ever experience.
So jealous, I was sitting on the steps of the Hard Rock Cafe there a while back waiting for a launch that was ultimately postponed. One day I’ll catch one.
