The crowd just needs to shut up for a minute.

I know Hayley IRL. She probably has accomplished more in her 29 years than the entire OT board.

Are they playing Minecraft on those screens, or are they doing real Astronaut stuff?

It’s a autonomous spacecraft, the entire mission was flown with zero input from the crew. Whatever happened would have happened regardless if there is a crew in the capsule or not.

Elon just teabagged the entire space programs around the world!! Put 4 regular people into high earth orbit just to prove a point.

Say what you want about him, he never backs down from a challenge.

Did they stick the landing? I was on mute and could not hear them talking. They never showed the standing booster from a camera at a distance like they normally do.

Never saw it, but they said it did.

The landing burn always kills the camera feed.

I dont know if the crew video feed was delayed or not, but the moon landing conspiracy theorists are going to come out of the woodwork. This crew was waving and giving thumbs up effortlessly during supposed 4G acceleration.

I remember at Space Camp centerfuge as a kid, we would dare each other to hold your hand over your privates. If you did, you would mash your own nuts till the G forces reduced. Needless to say we were never selected to be real Astronauts.

SpaceX is so far ahead of everyone else it’s laughable at this point. Bezos launched a couple of his billionaire friends, and didn’t even really make it that far out.

NASA, and maybe the ruskies have ever sent people that far out, and these were randomly chose people for a fund raiser.

Imagine what kind of football coach Elon would’ve been.

The international space station is 254 miles outside earth's atmosphere. The moon is 238,000 miles outside earth's atmosphere.
