Go ahead punk, make my day |
Their inflight abort test went today, with a planned 'abort' right past Max-Q around 2 min after launch. It appeared to go off without a hitch, proving it could save the astronauts if a launch abort was required at that dynamic phase of the launch. Hopefully in 2-3 month they'll be launching 2 NASA Astronauts to the ISS for the first Crew Dragon launch (short 2 week test flight planned), followed by regular flights with 3-4 Astronauts. | ||

Very cool, can’t wait as it’s been too long since the US launched its own crews. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

Congrats to SpaceX. This was the kind of mission success Boeing needed to demonstrate a few weeks ago. | |||

Yeah the Boeing launch was a disappointment, the capsule going off course due to a simple timing error. Both have had setbacks but regardless of who gets their first, I hope they are both flying trips regularly as soon as safely possible. | |||
