Crew Demo-2
After standing down from launch on Wednesday May 27, SpaceX is now targeting Saturday, May 30 for Falcon 9’s launch of Crew Dragon’s second demonstration (Demo-2) mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This test flight with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on board the Dragon spacecraft will return human spaceflight to the United States.
The instantaneous launch window opens at 3:22 p.m. EDT, or 19:22 UTC, with a backup instantaneous launch opportunity available on Sunday, May 31 at 3:00 p.m. EDT, or 19:00 UTC. Tune in here to watch the launch webcast. Coverage will begin about 4 hours before liftoff.
Demo-2 is the final major test for SpaceX’s human spaceflight system to be certified by NASA for operational crew missions to and from the International Space Station. SpaceX is returning human spaceflight to the United States with one of the safest, most advanced systems ever built, and NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is a turning point for America’s future in space exploration that lays the groundwork for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
And coming up a new goal from Spacex to their rivals
Congratulations on this great success from Russia! We are delighted to see this incredible launch finally happened. It was a very emotional moment, and I’m so happy to see that SpaceX and NASA did everything right.
Cross your fingers for Bob and Doug (they still have to land) and please do not listen to jealous politicians.
In Elon we trust
In Elon we trust!
Don’t forget, In thrust we trust. But we do trust Elon as well.
In Elon we thrust
And thank you Russia, for all you’ve done for spaceflight over the years – there was barely an acknowledgement of that today, but space wouldn’t be the same without you!
When USA Russia and China work together they can lead the world into space :3
And now we wait for processing
@zacmeld that sucks I wish they had some exception for a video that had 50 million views and is number one on trending
@zacmeld nope its way more https://youtu.be/56lkofpjOAs
Andrew Siegel yeah I think sometimes youtube makes exceptions to that rule
@Videos IDK about you but i can only reach 2:54:34 of that video, it indefinitely buffers if i try to go further.
@coolguy 284 Yeah it just ends for me at that time. Definitely a cap.
Godspeed Bob and Doug
Hoarse
Great Launch guys, makes me proud of humanity!
Finally, something good happened in 2020
