    I will be disappointed. Like on a plane waiting to take off and then send back to the gate. Flying is very safe.

    Flying a plane is most likely be safe but a rocket that never been tested probably is not.

    They didn't test it before? All those SpaceX launches I been hearing about wasn't for this rocket?

    Ugh, so upset I missed the actual launch! Tuned in just in time to see Dragon orbiting, on its way to the space station! Very curious to see how this develops over the coming years, and if we can really commercialize space travel. Wouldn't that be something?

    Watch them live docking with the ISS at about 9:15 am today



    Docking is AI controlled but you can try it:

    If you miss the docking, click to 40 minutes. Then to see the astronauts going on the iSS, click to 3 hr 50 min. After docking, they sat in the capsule for over 3 hours while ISS check things and connect things. Not like the movies, you dock, you open the door, you step out and come and go freely like you are at a brothel.

    If I was up there I wouldn't want to come back to this planet. Coronavirus. Riots. Safer in space. How long can a human body handle 0 gravity?
