5. That is indeed disappointing

At least some of them can be seen with masks but hell... when you have a crowd this size the chance of transmission is high. If I saw this - I would turn around and go back to where I came from. Good God people!

6. Just don't get this. Aside from the contagion risk, launches are far better viewed on TV.

I've been to a space shuttle launch at the cape, and even with a great reserved seat, it was still very far away. And from what I understand, the Space X rocket doesn't even have the 'rumble' that the space shuttle did.

But this is just bizarre madness.

9. Even if there wasn't a pandemic going on, I still don't get this.

I absolutely hate crowds and avoid them like the plague. I don't understand why people find this fun. It makes me feel claustrophobic and trapped.

Tv launches are better.
