John said that Bruce will take over operations. We need to give them some time and then continue to support them.

I found a few minutes to swing by the Semroc tent before they took off and chat with one of the nicest families in rocketry. Carl was of course tied up, and I didn't get a chance to connect with him before I had to return to flying. Guess this is a stark reminder that we really need to treasure the time we have with each other, you never know what words will be your last ones.

My heart goes out to Sheryl, Bruce and the extended family.
