And what was your job there? Head of Mission Control? Chief fuse lighter? Senior coffee maker?

I don’t know who you are as “jztemple,” but we probably knew each other. I was in FR-2. I hustled outside just before T-0 to watch with my own eyes. Cheers to a job well done!

I imagine it was! What was your role that you stuck around for the entirety of the program? That’s some job security. Assuming you were there in the lead up to the launch, during your job you saw the fall of the Soviet Union and the World Trade Center, the rise and fall of Saddam Hussein, the rise and fall of Bin…

So will they hold the usual post-race celebrations? I really want to see them up on the podium, with just the team personnel in attendance.

Considering the travel restrictions placed on the regions in Italy where Pirelli and Ferrari are based i can see the 2020 season being an asterisk in the history books.

My fellow Floridians! It’s true, I don’t feel like I need to run out to buy water because I already have my hurricane stash in the house. It’s right next to all the spare TP.

I’d LOVE a Zero, and as an LA resident it would make great sense, but what he said /\
