you feel like you literally step back in time.

It is the craziest thing.

And so we go out there.

We're 1.5 miles away, 2 and 1 half kilometers.

That's the closest I've ever been to anything with a rocket engine that's going to leave the ground.

I've only been closer when it's a rocket engine test.

And I'm standing there and I had heard stories about people getting even closer.

There's stories of people standing like 200, 300 feet away from this rocket when it launches because they're rushing.

They're like, ah, whatever.

When it launches, just duck behind this thing.

Light your cigarette from the fucking exhaust.

Literally.

And so I'm like sitting there and we're setting up and all of a sudden this guy comes up to us in a van and goes, do you guys want to get closer?

And I'm like, I'm already kind of like, oh, this is...

This is uncomfortably close already, but I'm like, yeah, let's do it.

So we, a few of us pack into this little van, start driving straight to the rocket.

And I'm sitting there going, oh my God, this thing's like 40 minutes away from taking off.

You know, you can see condensation pouring off of it because it's got liquid oxygen in it.

You know, it's got, it's, it's got its RP one in it and we're just driving right up.

We turn right at like the gate where the rocket would normally be like going right around it.
