    Default SpaceX Crew 1 Launch 7:26pm



    SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, May 27 for Falcon 9’s launch of Crew Dragon’s second demonstration (Demo-2) mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This test flight with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on board the Dragon spacecraft will return human spaceflight to the United States.

    Demo-2 is the final major test for SpaceX’s human spaceflight system to be certified by NASA for operational crew missions to and from the International Space Station. SpaceX is returning human spaceflight to the United States with one of the safest, most advanced systems ever built, and NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is a turning point for America’s future in space exploration that lays the groundwork for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

    I'd of left that part out just on the basis of Murphy and his laws. Be kind of cool to head over to the beach and watch it, normally we can see the launches as they pass over.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    From Florida to orbit at 16,000 mph in less than 10 minutes. And the rocket came back and landed itself...

    Damn thing landed inside the circle on a ship at sea. That’s amazing.

    I was down there last summer for the launch. First time I’ve ever been to one. It was really cool seeing it go up but watching it come back down was even better.

    I am sure it was. I am trying to clean this grill before it catches everything between Japan and Portugal on fire and NASA just went on without me...

    Nothing like grilling out and watching the space launch.

    That wasn’t a real space launch. It was a pre-recorded tv show. ������
