Well, I normally try to obfuscate who I work for these days. Because I've been keeping my Transe statues on the down low. And I HAVE to emphasize that I in no way represent my employer. No statements I make represent the company in any way. I'm here purely as a private individual. And none of this may be quoted or reproduced or misconstrued as to make it seem I'm making claims or statements on the companies behalf. But well I really want to share this one. And it's already publicly available information.
I now work for Space X and I've been working on the Dragon Space Craft's. The first one I worked on is about to launch. As I'm writing this theres 5 days 18 hour and 15 minutes to lauch (According to SpaceXstats.com A publiclly avalible information source) And is listed as launching on April 8th at 8:43PM UTC (Agian acording to SpaceXstats.com) I'm so nervious right now I'm thinking of asking for the befoer and the day of, off. Because I think I'm gonna be a nervous wreck.
If any of you are interested in watching the launch, there will probably be a live stream on SpaceX.com, On the day of the launch. If not, well, Wish us luck?
That's super cool. I will definitely watch it :)
