"VC, DC, verify Falcon and Dragon are in startup." The call came from the Flight Director. Brian looked up at the monitor. The past few hours had flown by, and it was almost time for launch. In fact, they were in terminal count.

"Falcon is in startup." the call comes from the VC.

Brian looks at the Dragon's telemetry. "Dragon is in startup."

"Falcon has secured flight pressures." The tanks were now at flight pressure.

"T-10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3," The nine Merlin 1D engines ignited and roared to life. "2, 1," The clamps released and the Falcon lurched skywards. "Liftoff of the Falcon 9." The 25-story booster shot towards the sky. "Falcon 9 has cleared the towers."

All Brian could do was watch.
