David, have you been able to get the Key Plays to load at all? Every time I've tried I've received a message saying failed to load -- nm - prayformojo Aug 2, 12:01 1

With the current shot of the fast boats headed out, I'm reminded of how much a private mission this is - JD Aug 2, 11:54 11
- It looks like the splashdowns from the 60s. It's great we're in space again and everyone is ok, but we're doing things the way we did 45 years ago. - jnine Aug 2, 12:07 1
