Crew ingress in progress.

Second time is the charm.

The hell with bad news. Onward, forward, skyward and spaceward!

Godspeed Bob and Dough!

And all ya'alls, take the red pill.

My fav is the shot of that overpass, looks like thousands packed in to share the moment.

Compare it to the footage of those spoiled brain dead brats getting all stompy feet.

Thanks. I was going off a vague memory from a movie and didn’t know the whole/real story.

Musk has got a great sense of humor. Like when a feed cut out, the screen says “I still love you”.

That was because the drone recovery ship that the stage 1 landed on was named "Of Course I Still Love You."

The Pacific-based drone recovery ship is named "Just Read The Instructions."

I suppose that President Trump will speak, too, since it's the POTUS podium on the stage.

I just read in another thread that Philadelphia rioters are spraying chemicals in LEO's eyes right now. It's gone from grass-roots protesters to professional insurrectionists.

I hope that President Trump is planning a strong military response to this escalation, even while he's appearing at SpaceX today.

I'd hate for this to become another "Bush reading children's stories as the Towers fall" moment.

I hope he comes out with a strong statement in favor of state's rights and expresses the belief that "our fine Democrat governors and mayors" will have no problems at all cleaning up this mess they made all by themselves.

Thanks. I think I remember seeing something like that in a show about the Space Shuttle.

So it’s ‘Endeavour’. Which is nice...I was hoping for ‘Serenity’.

“Of Course I still love you” is the name of the drone ship. They’re all named after the ships in a particular science fiction novel series, I forget which one.

Ian Banks’ “Culture” novels. These are named after the ships in those novels. The ships are run by AI. The AI choose the names themselves, and apparently have fun with it.
