SpaceX Crew Dragon mission

[Tribs]

I half watched while playing - then had to stop to actually watch it. History is exciting

The speed of that thing!

 

[Bandit]

Think it's about 19h from now, so late afternoon?

Think it is closer to 16:00. It's a 19h flight.

Anyone watching?

Will we see the other astronauts greeting them

Should do, but it's a slow process, expect it to take 30-60 minutes imo.

PLEASE CONFIRM:
Is hatch opening scheduled for 18:45 SA time?

Hurley overestimating the speed of his manoeuvre as he boarded the space station and banging his head

Who put lube on that handle? Three hours to open a bloody hatch.

Once Starship Prototypes are Done Exploding, we could see an Orbital Launch this Year

SpaceX has had a lot of ups and downs lately. On Saturday, May 30th, the company made history when their Crew Dragon spacecraft took off from the NASA Kennedy Space Center, carrying two astronauts to space. But just a day before, SpaceX engineers and ground crews watched their fourth Starship prototype (SN4) explode on its testbed during a static fire test, making it the fourth prototype in a row to be lost.

But according to recent news from a SpaceX engineer and executive, as well as an internal email from Elon Musk to SpaceX employees, it is clear that the company is all-in with the Starship prototype and could conduct an orbital flight before the end of the year. An ambitious goal, but you don’t get to be the head of a company that makes reusability a thing and restores domestic launch capability to US soil by being a pessimist!

Had to first make sure there were no aliens on board.
