I remember, back in the day, when a space launch would preempt network programming for continuous coverage of the launch.

Back in the 60's a rocket launch into space was a huge event.

I still have the newspapers I saved when John Glenn went into space.

But nowadays, a rocket is ready for launch?

Aside from, I hope no one is hurt when (if?) it launches ...

Yawn.

I mean, we're six decades later.
