May 30, 20205 yr 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.

May 30, 20205 yr 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?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.

May 30, 20205 yr 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.
May 30, 20205 yr 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. Edited May 30, 20205 yr by Hook1997

May 30, 20205 yr Only in amount and duration of video coverage. The verbal commentary is total ass.That’s all I care about. I don’t listen to any of their crap commentary. I just want to see what’s happening

May 30, 20205 yr The aesthetics of everything now compared to the old space shuttle days is like watching a modern scifi movie versus the original Star Trek.

May 30, 20205 yr 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.
May 30, 20205 yr Fucking shit I missed this. Was looking forward to it all week, then got caught up grilling outside. Any good replays?

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...
May 30, 20205 yr 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.
May 30, 20205 yr CNN sure did a shit job. Missed the take-off and cut when the first stage was 10 seconds to land on the barge.
