pawn,

It isn’t just you. I, too, am saddened by a rocket’s failure but enjoy the rush of a successful launch. Judging by the reactions of the crowd at the launch and landing of the first Falcon Heavy and its two booster rockets, there are plenty of people who cheer heartily at launch successes.

Well the base instinct with many is probably hoping for the excitement of an explosion.

But if you truly love rockets, the gravity deifying, frantic symphony of a machine arching its way to escape from a planet we are all glued to for our entire life is a very special rush.

An explosion is just sad but that’s just me.

I watched earlier in the week and again yesterday for the launch. Down to 30 min, the stopped it. then down to 1 min, the stopped it then to zero and it was a big dud and then down to 45 seconds and that is all she wrote. I would be lying if I said I was not watching to see it blow up. Watching SpaceX’s launch in boca were a lot of fun. So maybe I am a little sick, but at least I am honest.

Rocket Lab also scrubbed their evening launch attempt at Wallops, due to upper level winds.
Next try NET March 14.(?)
