Yay !!!! Back to space
Yay !!!! Back to space
You can watch it here:Originally Posted by secretrose
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?
I lookie at NASA live feed yesterday and they are still up there, for as long as 3-4 months. Safer there than here.
Returning this Sunday 2:42 pm Eastern

here's the NASA live feed again
2 hours to landing at 2:48 pm Eastern. Use the same NASA live feed above to watch. looks fun https://www.spacex.com/static/images...ic_desktop.jpg
Why do you think elon was praying on the return?
The dragon capsule had a high chance of burning up during reentry. Not necessarily during this reentry but a certain design of dragon creates an elevated chance of burn up during reentry. What is funny is I think the design is being changed to account for the design flaw. What is even funnier is if SpaceX is doing what I think they are doing it is going to create a REALLY big problem that no one is going to know why until dragon crashes into the ground.
I did not get to tell elon:
Don't pray because prayers are never answered, make wishes because wishes can be granted if enough currency of the djinn is available. I know what that currency is(has nothing to do with a person's soul) and no I am not telling.

I did ask how it's being protected on re-entry. On the shuttle you can see the heat shield tiles. On the dragon I don't see anything unless the whole skin is a new kind of shield that don't look so obvious as tiles.
Can you please elaborate? What is the design flaw and what SpaceX is doing right now that may be a REALLY big problem causing a dragon to crash?

SpaceX just put 4 folks in orbit...

Not bad for a few BILLION $$$ less than NASA probably spends on diversity training.
The lady astronaut is cute. Do they have sex in space?

After this DragonX docks at the ISS tomorrow, there will be 11 astronauts up there and only 9 beds. Someone will have to double up 2 per bed and that always leads to sex.
