Turn on N.A.S.A. tv channel and watch it live. Landing expected around 1pm West coast time. Add 3 for east coast time. I’ve been waiting a very long time for this day to come.
Cool stuff ... it gets all of my nerdery going!

Yall stay tuned. The "flat-earthers" are gonna have a field day with this one.
According to the flat-earthers, we've never developed the technology to launch anything beyond the Van Allen Belt. And the earth is shaped kinda like a birdbath. LolI’ve already been told there will be nothing there because the Bible doesn’t mention it.
Wait, what? The Bible doesn’t mention microwave ovens yet this logic doesn’t go in that direction yet.
I’ll head to Mars on the next flight that requires a tortoise habitat tender. The soviets, sometime in the 60’s launched a russian tortoise to check on body health after launching.
Wow! I didn't know about the Russian tortoises in space but I just looked it up. So cool! Glad you shared thatI’ll head to Mars on the next flight that requires a tortoise habitat tender. The soviets, sometime in the 60’s launched a russian tortoise to check on body health after launching.
It certainly will help support my argument that tortoises are the coolest animals. Torts in spaaaaace! I'm re-imagining the muppets pigs in space... but better!Two tortoises and a variety of insects were the first inhabitants of Earth to circle the Moon, on the 1968 Zond 5 mission.

I was something like 7 years old at the time and I’m gonna use this as the reason for me getting into tortoises. LOL
