a few comments and comparisons. i remember watching those launches in "Real time" the saturn V would take "forever" to clear the tower, walter cronkite would be cheering as it slowly lifted.
the entire mission control seemed to be buzz cut haircut guys in white shirts, ties, pocket protectors, silently screaming "go go go go"
now their grandchildren at spacex, are diverse, still screaming and cheering "go go go go" and the falcon climbs like a homesick angel.
the "long pause" is finally ending
