If you know me, you know I'm a nerd who loves cycling. Today, I got to fulfill a few childhood dreams with a visit to Florida's Spaceport! 

 

The Dragon Capsule that will make history tomorrow sat atop it's reused Falcon rocket, ready to carry four civilian tourists to orbit. It's truly incredible what's happening out here and this was just the first stop! (Click here to watch starting at 8pm tomorrow)

 

 

Then, we hopped over to Blue Origin's launchpad which will complete construction next month and start launching next year. I asked if my Amazon Prime membership get's me on the list for a launch, they are going to get back with me... 

 

Still, the Road to Space Mile 0 might be my new favorite Florida Landmark!

 

 

After the Space Shuttle retired in 2011, America started relying on Russian rides to space. I don't know about you, but I am SUPER PROUD that that chapter of our history is coming to an end. 


10 years ago, tens of thousands were laid off when the shuttle ended. Now, those jobs are returning to Florida as we not only build and launch the rockets, but also the OneWeb satellites that will soon connect even the most remote corners of our world via highspeed satellite data.

 

Today's one of those days where I feel so lucky to have this job that instead of asking for contributions, I'll be making my own! :)

 

Happy Tuesday!
