SpaceX first rocket launch of NASA astronauts into space set (UP: ISS docking complete!)
- Thread starter .Detective.
- Start date
Can't wait to see the twitter flat earthers try to explain how this whole thing is an elaborate hoax
Sounds promising on the weather. Earlier cell has moved on and the next one is in Orlando and looking like it is eroding.
Super excited for this! And it's such a big step, again! After they got dragon docked, then landing sorted, then falcon heavy, now manned flight and hopefully SN4 does a hop next week.... Really feels like space travel is heading in the right direction again :D
Yea I'm normally not into this kinda stuff, but having all this live footage of the whole thing happening is super cool
I've watched amazing live streams of Mars missions launching, landing on Mars, probes landing on comets, spacewalks.. but honestly can't remember the last time I watched a crewed mission launching. Makes it all so much more.. critical. This is hype. I'm glad we get to see this again.
They can cancel as late as they need. In the meantime, there's a large enough chance they can go that they'll continue on as if they will.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a manned spacecraft livestream, maybe one of the soyuzs, but that's it.
Do we know if the stream is delayed? You know, so they can cut it if something bad were to happen. Don't mean to be morbid, just curious.
"We are ready to launch America"
I, too, think launching America into space would be a neat idea.

Is there a go/no-go on weather call coming? Or are we full go?
Oh shit. I'm sorry, I'm out of the loop. Is this the rocket that re-docks itself after launch??
I'm hugely excited for SpaceX today, even though I've been really disappointed by Elon's recent pandering to idiocy on Twitter just to avoid more downtime at Tesla (coz I still like to think he doesn't actually believe some of the bs he's been spouting and rt'ing). Still happy that he gets to live this dream today, though.
Must be pretty incredible for everyone at SpaceX. Not only did they begin from scratch on one of the historically "impossible" industries to break into, they became technological leaders, by far, and today they reach their most important milestone so far. Bit of shame that the pandemic doesn't allow for everyone to be at the office, would love to see the huge crowd cheering similarly to previous milestones like the first landing or the first Heavy launch.

Those numbered black suited dudes veering dangerously close to James Bond henchmen though
the main rocket will land on the ocean barge, always a highlight of any launch.
Just checked, and yeah, sounds a bit quiet. I assume they'll adjust if the chat complains enough, haha. Another good stream is the NSF stream, featuring Scott Manley and Declan Murphy from Flight Club.
Boeing is a government owned entity for all intents and purposes, except worse because money that would otherwise be spent making better products or providing better services goes to shareholders. Their almost total dependency on the US government to survive does them no favors. They barely even have to try, so that's what they do - the bare minimum.
