  1. I’m curious about what the “undisclosed medical concern” is, if anyone has more info!

  2. I stepped outside to watch this, not sure if I’d be able to see it.

    Holy shit, what a sight. There was no doubt at all once it showed up. That thing was *flying,* too – going way faster than a commercial airplane would “look.”

    I hoped it would be cool, but that was genuinely a wondrous moment. There were *people* in that thing. Just amazing to see.

    NASA really uses MMM, DD, YYYY format?

    You’d think they’d go for the friendlier YYYY MM DD

    I’m wondering if that’s what I saw tonight at 00:34 PST? It looked spectacular!
