Sounds like a wild ride.
If there are any astronauts still alive from the Apollo era I’d be very interested in a conversation between Bob and Doug and those Apollo Mission astronauts specifically about the reentry sounds and sensations. The internal capsule vibrations and sounds during reentry then and now.
Yeah... A DRAGON!!!
Sounds like a subtle hit piece. No matter how good your ship, re-entering the earth’s atmosphere is a violent event.

From your keyboard to an amusement park engineer’s imagination...
Yeah... A DRAGON!!!
Sounds like a bunch of drama queens. I don’t recall that much puffery over all the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Soyuz capsule re-entries and splashdowns. The physics have not changed. Just a hunch, but I’d say the author wasn’t alive during those programs.
Charlie Duke is available. James Lovell is available...and others....Buzz Aldrin, et al.
Isn’t that typical of all the re-entries?
“Sounds like a subtle hit piece.”
Yep. Aren’t they all like this?
Sounds great! :^)
Both astronauts had two shuttle missions. No rides on Soyuz.
This is more of a Space-X press release, I’d say.
astronauts still alive from the Apollo era
Buzz Aldrin comes to mind
Of those who walked on the Moon, four remain. Of those who went without landing, seven. Jim Lovell’s alive, and he went twice without getting to set foot on the surface.

Disgusting!
It is at my house.
We shouldn’t forget the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz crews. Except for the Soyuz crew, they all came down in Apollo capsules. Frankly, the current crews that descend in Soyuz capsules shouldn’t be discounted: they go through re-entry and ‘chute deployment, too. They exchange sluicing into the ocean waves for a retrorocket-assisted landing on the ground.
Nope what was said at yesterday’s crew press conference. I am sure thay will have more details in the debriefs
