three, two, one full power. and liftoff! isn t that always fascinating? always. such an awesome place. are you a spacey? i love cape canaveral. have you been there? i have. they get scrubbed a bunch. so you go and you wait. you probably didn t president trump go? yeah. i used to remember going to cape canaveral and you see all the alligators and stuff. yeah. i don t think you re supposed to get that close. that s a whole other thing. wait, we re on television. good morning, everyone! so four astronauts blasting off to the international space station after a successful spacex launch this morning. first we have this a suit cause packed with an explosive discovered at a pennsylvania
