That’s great news. I can’t believe we were paying Russia 75 mil each time we sent one of ours.

Looks like the USA is back in the manned space business.

Way to go, SpaceX!

Now, if we can keep NASA from “helping”.

I hope that Tesla’s volatile situation has no carryover effect on SpaceX.

Where are all the FReepers who have been complaining for years that we didn’t have the ability to launch our own astronauts?

The thruster and attitude jets burn yellow in space. I wonder what propellants they are using.

We used Monomethyl Hydrazine (MMH) and Nitrogen Tetroxide (NO4) and videos of those hypergolics were a bluish white in space.
