When I lived in Florida I could see it from my house once it got high enough. Never seen it up close though.

I missed it! :C

It was 5 seconds of the rocket launch before it went in to the clouds, then about 1 minutes of rocket cam, 2 minutes of telemetry, and 12 minutes of mission control centers and weather reports. It was not a particularly special launch.

forget NASA. You can almost literally watch tax dollars go up in smoke as the satellite launches.

Without satellites you would have no cell service, no TV, no accurate global weather, and most likely no internet.

Who do you think those satellites belong to? Certainly not NASA. I have no gripes about google launching their satellites.

Guess who pioneered space technology?

NASA & the NASA equivalent in Russia.

If this is legitimately what you believe then just kill yourself. Or at the very least try and educate yourself.
