Personally, for me, I've paid attention to it some, but not followed it closely. I think a lot of it is just that I understand it so well and have seen it all before. I love KSP (and KSA is looking great!), and have played it with the real solar system mods. The launch looks better than the game, but everything after the game does better. It can look better (their renders are surprisingly shit still), and I can actually control it.
I love space information and technology, but this is just one more step in it. I can't follow everything. It's great that it's happening, but there's also a ton more research being done that I don't even know about. This, while impressive and good, isn't something new.
I watched the launch after it happened at 2x speed and saw some parts of the descent. My phone wallpaper has been set t9 pictures they took. I'm just not that interested in following it live. I know what to expect, and I'll hear about it if anything unexpected happens.
