First splash down since Apollo-Soyuz in 75. My goodness, you're right! I'm a big-time space-nut, and I didn't even realize that!
I'll am watching with bells on! Really neat that we're seeing live shots from inside the capsule.

Cracks me up when I hear the crew referred to Bob and Doug.
Take off, eh!

One of the things I’m noticing...the ‘commentators’ from SpaceX are doing some serious blathering. I remember the correspondents from back in the day didn’t seem to just yak and yak. They at least seemed to have their stuff together.
HGaving someone older and more polished might help these be easier to watch and may even attract more viewers.

It’s all about the cost. The shuttle was not cost effective and SpaceX is supposed to make money.
Plus I don’t think we ever lost a capsule on re-entry, IIRC.

Capsule? No. A Shuttle? Yes (Columbia).
4 minutes out from beginning of de-orbit sequence start.

They’re probably trying to attract people younger than the average freeper. If you are 60+ you’re not going to space.

The old "splash-down" routine.
Good luck guys!

Trunk separated, less than an hour to land.
To: Monty22002
Trunk has separated and the capsule is free. De-orbit burn coming up.....

Plus I dont think we ever lost a capsule on re-entry, IIRC.We haven't. Gus Grissom did at least have the decency to lose his capsule after splashdown however :-P

There’s a good chance that tonight or tomorrow the Starship SN5 will do the 150m hop. Will try to post if that’s streamed.
