What’s the path to landing?


The old shuttle days at night you can see the shuttle coming into orbit. Lot the sky up. Was awesome

Looks like they’ll approach the Gulf from the south southwest. Like across Panama maybe? At least from the Discovery Channel’s graphic.

the map they showed appeared like the Dragon was coming essentially from the Bay of Campeche northeast to the splashdown spot

Third guy from stage-left (the one sharing a pair of monitors) is Elon Musk. Thus the reason all the cameras are on him.
