I hope they are on time, I hate it when these space ship landings are an hour or two late.

Drink every time the announcers use the word ‘splashdown’. Chaser every time they say ‘capsule’.

We had more video feeds to watch during the Apollo missions than they give us today.

Where is the tracking map video ?

There’s alot we are prevented from seeing.

They’re supposed to be taken off on stretchers / gurneys because they can’t walk. IDK if true, but heard that report yesterday.

In the beginning, i.e., Apollo, the focus was on the mission. Now the focus is on talking heads. It’s annoying.

The spacex.com site had a small tracking thingie but not as good as they used to be.

Even tracking Santa on Christmas Eve is more sophisticated - LOL!

That's probably because NASA does that from the Johnson Space Center mission control center. This is being run by SpaceX out of their Hawthorne, CA mission control. It doesn't look like they have a "made for television" Big Board like NASA did.

I spent six months on my back in a body cast when I was 10, and couldn’t walk when it was over. And that was IN gravity. I can’t imagine what these people will experience.

The NASA chick said they each must exercise twice a day up there and I suppose that helps.
