Today was a rollercoaster day for this space-lover.

For those who don't know, I generally have three loves in life... I love my two daughters more than life itself. I love my job and have since I was 15 years old. And I absolutely love outer space.

I can't stress this enough, I've always loved and have been fascinated with all things space. Granted, I don't understand most of outer space, and I believe that 99% of human beings including myself can't even begin to comprehend the infinite vastness of possibilities and sheer-size of it. It's simply too endless to even wrap your mind around, and I believe that's one of the main reasons I've always been fascinated with the expanse that exists beyond the Earth and between celestial bodies. I love the unknown of it, I guess.

In fact, my third favorite movie OF ALL TIME is Interstellar with Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway.

Naturally, I've been looking forward to today for quite a while. A rocket launch from American soil carrying astronauts and heading to the I.S.S. is a monstrously huge deal. Today, approaching 3:33 PM, we were glued to our TV and phone screens awaiting this monumental SpaceX Dragon Crew launch. Within ten minutes of launch, they decided due to inclement weather, the launch would be rescheduled for this Saturday afternoon.

Naturally, I was bummed but completely understand the decision to keep their astronauts on the Earth for a few more days and keep them far out of harm's way.

Then, I stumbled across new content from the upcoming Steve Carell work-place comedy Space Force. The show was created by Carell and Office show-runner Greg Daniels. The show is set to hit Netflix on Friday, May 29th, and I'm beyond excited.

Here's some a new trailer for the show, as well as a featurette with the cast!
