Pulled over earlier on to watch the last 20 mins of countdown and watched till after stage 2 fired and they were well under way.
Actually found myself with sweaty palms.

Hard to over emphasise the importance of this being a commercial enterprise. Space flight and exploration is no longer at the whim of vote hungry politicians. Putting aside the whole capitalism argument things may now move at a faster pace though arguably in a slightly different direction.

Yeh, you might get offered a job in the near future, on the dark side of the moon, extracting helium 3 

Have you ever seen the si-fi film 'Moon'? 

It'll be a relief to finally get to the moon.

...but they'll have to be careful they don't skid off the edge being flat and all.

'Moon' is about a guy on a fixed term contract harvesting helium 3 for a big corporation back on Earth, but with a twist. Worth seeing. Sam Rockwell is the main actor.

Edit.....14.40 PM LIVE right now....spaceship docking with ISS. 
See NASA TV or youtube nasa live

It's made of cheese so very sticky when it's in the sun, the problem will be getting off it.

Also, Moon is a really good original film! A slow burner.
