I set the time index to hit around the time the bloomin' chutes had nearly completed the task of splash-landing the craft in the waters off Pensacola Florida. Additional:
The SpaceX Crew-3 mission to the International Space Station has been delayed again, this time to November 10th at 9:03PM ET, NASA said Sunday. Although NASA had originally planned to have a changing of the guard with the Crew-2 astronauts greeting the Crew-3 team before Crew-2 departed, the space agency has decided to return the Crew 2 to Earth first, pushing that mission from Sunday to Monday, November 8th at 2:05PM ET, because of weather concerns.
Wednesday so far has an 80 percent chance of favorable weather for liftoff, SpaceX noted in a tweet on Sunday. If all goes to plan the craft will take off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and dock with the ISS at about 7:10PM ET on November 11th.Image: NASA / Joel Kowsky
I wonder if they might delay the next Crew mission again to take a look at why that 4th parachute took a while to inflate last night.
(Is there a little blue pill for parachutes?)
