Just seen the ISS and Dragon.....jeez the Dragon was fast......or maybe just seemed fast, was very hard to find as its not quite dark, but thanks to Meteorwatch.org i knew exactly when and where to watch.....also needed binos to see the dragon....ISS was ok with naked eye.....

First time in my few years of watching Ive actually managed to see a rocket..

It's a bloody mind ****. So out of our space system/solar system, there are millions/billions of other galaxy's, what is there? Is there an edge to these universes? Where does a black hole take you? It is a complete mind fu*k but absolutely incredible at the same time.

I absolutely agree that space travel is still mind-blowing. And yes, indeed, not many people are interested in this topic enough to know at least that there are already more than 40 private space companies. Not all of them are as famous as the ones discussed here. But, believe me, their contribution to the development of humanity and knowledge is no less significant. You reproach that smart people are not interested in the development of space technologies. What do you know about space companies, besides what's in the headlines?
