Unobscured Vision Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Sorry, I've been glued to my screens (yes, plural) as much as possible. We've been waiting for this for a long time. And it's everything we wanted so far. DocM 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobscured Vision Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Just a little further to go and SpaceX will have "won the competition" ... not that we had any doubt -- and despite the shenanigans behind the scenes. Incredible day, space-affairs wise. bguy_1986 and DocM 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Looking at those screens via the over-the-shoulder cam definitely adds a 2001/Star Trek LCARS touch. I hear the Crew Dragon for Crew-1 in August is being prepped, and the crew training is well along. bguy_1986 and Unobscured Vision 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
