Launching humans into space again from America - Space X

[cafe society 2860]

Fucking glorious.

[tx ind 7006]

Shit, feed cut out on the landing

Zero G indicator showcased by glitter stuffed animal (couldn’t tell if it was a dinosaur or dragon. But dragon would obviously make more sense and be cooler.)

Geez 1500 mph!

Now 16,000 mph.  Wow.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21872]

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

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?

[RamjetFDO 10575]

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.

[mdmost 42999]

What do you do for 19 hours now? Check your monitors constantly?

[Newdoc 3439]

America needed this today. Incredible!

[NAVY 6740]

Love it! Go NASA and SpaceX!

Plus, the lack of expertly crafted GIFs is annoying.

play with that dinosaur

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.

Try not to think about waterfalls or washing dishes ...

[Armybrat 40822]

Awesome achievement!

USAUSA!

Cooo, loo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coooo!

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

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.  

[Twizzler 161]

Amazing.

I didn't realize how badly I needed some good news

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.

Great launch SX, NASA and America.

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

I still am.  Sipping on some bourbon watching humankind achieve great things during incredibly tough times.  America! Fuck Yeah!!

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

[Sbbruin 21829]

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

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

Yep. If I could pick my traveling companion.

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

[F250 28762]

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

Can I have the yacht then...

The cockpit and space suits look very minimalist.

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

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

[Guest Lobo]

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.  

[washparkhorn 9939]

Draco 4 low temp?

update - nominal burn

Fucking shit I missed this. Was looking forward to it all week, then got caught up grilling outside. Any good replays?

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...

[Dewey 3286]

Really wanted to see that thing land on the drone barge, the feed went dead and when they got it back, presto! There it is. 

[Horn_Spanker 524]

CNN sure did a shit job.  Missed the take-off and cut when the first stage was 10 seconds to land on the barge.
