    Default US Launch Goes Well

    Today's launch went very well and the astronauts are in orbit on their way to the Space Station.

    Was really cool to watch. A great distraction from all the bullshit.

    The landing of the first stage was the icing on the cake!

    Ps. I just wish they could get the transmission problems that always exist at the moment of landing on the drone ship fixed.

    That's so they can show a stock image of a perfect landing when the 1st stage goes into the drink.

    I found it amusing that the only time I got REALLY nervous was when the helium loading started. That's what caused the complete CATO four years ago...

    In that explosion, loss of telemetry happened less than 100ms (0.1 seconds) after the first indication of trouble. I don't know if the Dragon capsule could get away fast enough in that case, but I would not be surprised if it could!

    Show what landing? First frame after a temporary loss of signal is the rocket just sitting there on the deck!

    Bob and Doug were definitely just along for the ride, just watching the screens. I think it would have been cooler if they had one big red button to launch or something, instead of being perfectly computer controlled. I will say I love the design of the suits, the cockpit, everything.
