When stage one landing there was some message about "I really love love you, sorry we lost the feed"

On the bright side, the Dragon is now hard-locked to the ISS. They are having a small problem with the hard-wired voice link being garbled, but it has otherwise been a perfect flight for SpaceX thus far AFAIK. Meanwhile, back at Boeing Starliner Launch Control, the entire engineering crew is polishing their participation trophy for not even getting to the ISS with their un-manned test flight, watching SpaceX capture the flag left behind by the last Space Shuttle mission as a prize for the first commercial venture to reach the ISS on their otherwise dark control center monitors.....

The only remaining question now is asking if they threw a jumper pack into the trunk, in case they need to jump-start the Dragon capsule in a few months when it's time to come home?????

Everything is a remake these days. I saw this movie when it first came out in the 60's. It was in black-and-white then, of course.

There were a few brief shots from the capsule interior. Possibly one explanation is if conditions became other than nominal, it wouldn't be good to have millions of viewers at that moment. Think about past spacecraft incidents, and what it would have been like to have a live video feed. |

They had to do a pre-departure inspection of the heat shield with a camera mounted on the station's robotic arm, so I would agree that there were no cameras in the "trunk" area. There are camera(s) in the nosecone area though, facing forward to view the docking.....

Did anyone notice the spectator boats crowding the capsule in the water while the recovery crews were working? One of them kept moving in the camera shot of the capsule from the recovery ship, flying a yuge "Trump" flag. Me thinks that future splashdowns will need to be further off shore, or involve heavy Coast Guard and Navy presences to keep the gawkers away.....

For anyone else living under a rock this week (like me apparently), Northrup Grumman is launching a Cygnus re-supply from Wallops VA at 9:16 PM EDT tonight.
Not to be out-done, SpaceX is launching a NSSL mission for GPS-III at 9:43 PM EDT from the Cape. NASA-TV should have coverage of both, and the Wallops launch may be visible from the NE USA if the weather is clear.....

Northrup Grumman launched their Antares/Cygnus without a hitch from Wallops Island, Virginia.
Elon Musk's "hold my beer" launch from the Cape scrubbed at T-2 for an unknown reason. Safe the rocket, next launch window at 9:39 PM EDT Saturday if they can fix whatever went wrong by then. I am sure that Elon isn't happy about the last-second abort, because the Antares/Cygnus launch video had no on-board cameras and only a cheesy Kerbal Space Program animation of the rocket for most of the flight. SpaceX's on-board cameras and first stage booster landings make their launch videos sooooooo much more interesting.....

SpaceX is launching another batch of Starlink satellites from Kennedy Space Center tomorrow (Monday) at 7:51 AM EDT.
This should be the live stream link:

If they can create the older model if the moon landing ship by armstrong. And maybe even upgrade the parts on it, we can all be chillin on the moon by now. It just takes some of the older guys that did the moon mission to get files or notebooks or maybe engineers. We shouldve been at pluto by now, we got to the moon in the 70s idknow why we struggling to shoot rockets up.

The risk factor in the 1960's was waaaaaay too high by today's standards. Amazing what the cold war made humanity accept in those days. The right stuff indeed!
Looks like SpaceX scrubbed this morning's Starlink launch. Next try tomorrow at 7:29 AM tomorrow (Tuesday, 10/6).....
