True story. My dad took me to go see Apollo 13 the movie. It was one of those cinematic theatrical experiences which is one reason I wanted to make these vlogs because I've had a long standing love of film and that whole form of art but also was the movie that I would watch over and over as a kid became an inspiration. One of the big reasons that I got a PhD because of that movie and I've launched just down the road. So here's my launch video plan. This lens is really wide. Not good for a rocket. Even though the rocket is gonna go from earth all the way up in outer space the angular size is not that big. So my goal is to just take a video of people. So I'm gonna take this camera set it down at the end of the bleachers and turn it around and face us. This whole vlog is about you know showing what it's like to be an astronomer. What's like to do this job. This is one of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do as an astronomer as part of this job. Getting to show that reaction I think will be something special. It will at least be special to me. We're at T-minus 26 minutes. We officially heard gas is going in. They're fueling up. According to you calm are you just relaxed? Is this a totally no big deal? This is incredibly exciting. It's a huge deal. But there's no point being scared. That's right. It's gonna be awesome. It will be. It's gonna be the best thing ever. 10 minutes to go. Woo. Alright I got the camera in place. It's facing the crowd. Two minutes. Two minutes. I'm so excited. Do you have prediction of how many seconds between the audio and the visual? 20 seconds. Wow. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. We just saw something leave the earth. That's the con trail. And now we get on the buses and engage in revelry and marryment.
