I got distracted by the Nebulas from posting about the launch.
It went off without a hitch on Saturday, a bit after noon Eastern, and the astronauts safely docked on Sunday morning.
I know some people have mixed feelings about commercial space flight, but it was inevitable. Inevitably, space will be a place of commerce. Of tourism. Of trade. And yes, likely of conflict armed and otherwise.
We can worry about those things, or we can accept that this is humanity and the things we take with us and be happy that two guys had a relatively uneventful ride to space on a bird that had been extensively tested, but had not previously flown with men on board.
I'm choosing to celebrate it while considering the implications fodder for speculation and, of course, stories.
Oh, and not so side note:
Black Lives Matter
