Now 16,000 mph.  Wow.

Can you imagine hooking with the space station at that speed which is also traveling similar speed? And doing that after a 19 hour trip?

The coverage now is so much better than it used to be.

Only in amount and duration of video coverage. The verbal commentary is total ass.

Plus, the lack of expertly crafted GIFs is annoying.

It's what I used to do... Getting two vehicles moving that fast to be together at the same place at essentially 0.1 fps difference in velocity is a true orbital ballet.

The amount of balls it takes to approve using the excess margin of the rocket to return to earth vice allowing all margin to go toward mission assurance.  A great program/contracted win. The amount of times I argued allowing SX to return boosters on Gov missions has aged me 50 years.

Did it not look like a gimp suit the people that helped them in the pod were wearing?  They also just called them by their number on the suit lol.

Did Katherine Johnson sign off on your work, or did she have to fix it....

I miss the NASA channel though. I watched for hours seeing my neighbors fix the Hubble.

I watched the whole thing on NASA channel.  Was pretty damn cool

The aesthetics of everything now compared to the old space shuttle days is like watching a modern scifi movie versus the original Star Trek.

The cockpit and space suits look very minimalist.

it's kinda weird seeing a capsule that isn't jammed full of toggle switches

Would you go to Mars if you knew you couldn’t come back?

That question has already been asked. The history channel has a few videos.

And America took back to the heavens, despite the costs and the risk, for the very simple reason...it's what was next.  

Godspeed to the Crew.  Maybe the new images of our pale blue dot, suspended in a sunbeam, will bring some inspiration and mutual sense of purpose.

What is this dot you speak of?

That’s all I care about. I don’t listen to any of their crap commentary. I just want to see what’s happening

This.  Wife asked which channel and I told her it didn't make a fuck.  I just wanted to watch the video feeds.

Kinda like football we used to watch...
