alt Hacker News> NASA launches do evoke a feeling of substance over form
For real?
I was rolling my eyes hard at:
GC systems go?
GC systems go for all for humanity!
It’s cool. But let’s not act like going around the moon is the most historic thing ever… since we’ve already done it plenty, right?

The entire prelaunch is scripted. Safety is the point of prelaunch checklists and polls. Why would you get bent out of shape over each of them being able to give their own response to the final call before launch?

What NASA does goes in the history books.
What SpaceX does goes in quarterly reports.
They literally played clips from actors in recent moon movies so yes, they definitely were taking notes from movies.
