#countdowntovulcan — Public Fediverse posts

Headed to Florida for the #Vulcan launch. My dad's ashes are with the #Celestis payload. It's been a long #CountdownToVulcan .

Fun fact, my grandmother worked for Convair for 30 years, including during the time the first #CentaurRocket was in development. She had a top secret clearance, so we never really learned exactly what she worked on.

TBH I feel like this is what happens when you put a bunch of the #StarTrek cast on a launch targeted for May 4.
