Re: 1st Manned SpaceX flight

I love these historic moments. They are just breathtaking.
I thought the lift-off was marvellous and then again, when it successfully docked at the International Space Station. It was planned with such precision.
Regarding space travel, there are some very brave and clever people about these days.

Nasa SpaceX crew return: Astronauts set for ocean splashdown

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-53621102
US astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken have undocked their Dragon Endeavour capsule from the space station to begin their return to Earth.

The pair are expected to splash down off the coast of Florida just after 14:45 EDT (19:45 BST) on Sunday.

A successful landing would mean America once again has a fully serviceable, fully certified means of getting its own people into orbit and back.

Re: 1st Manned SpaceX flight

I hope they arrive back safely.

Having said that - I can think of a few they should put into orbit - and leave there!

The next step to be taken.
NASA has just announced that SpaceX will launch 4 men into orbit and to dock with the space station on October 23rd at 5:47 pm EDT.
I hope to see the next moon landing and a permanent base set-up.
