4...3...2...1 Blast Off!

This Blast Off Day comes 100 years after the last one. It will be a century before it comes around again.

Have a blast!

When I say “some kind of special date” I mean Like last year’s 0202 2020 (tel:0202 2020), a palindrome. Readable forward or backwards. There are 366 palindromes in 10,000 years.

Other fun dates of past times:

12/13/14

How many kinds of calendar days for math nerds but I’m not a math nerd so I don’t get into those I like the kindergarten level dates.

I observed Blast Off Day by watching videos of Starship Serial Number 11
http://www.spacex.com/launch

At 1:00 into the flight test the narrator says, "Methane burns on the brown side."
At 5:04 the narrator says, "Beautiful morning in Texas."
At 5:49 the starship exploded.

I must have missed the Rockets that existed for there to be a prior blast off day!:confused:
