https://mashable.com/article/how-to-watch-spacex-crew-dragon-rescheduled-launch/ The launch is scheduled for 3pm ET. The livestream begins at 11:15 ET. I guess I'll start watching at 2:50pm ET galenanorth has issued a correction as of 16:02 on May 30, 2020 |

On the live stream they have said "we are optimistic the weather will improve" about once a minute for the last hour. This makes me think they are not, actually, optimistic.

"We are optimistic the weather will improve! We are optimistic the weather will improve" I shout as I slowly transform into a scrubbed launch.

Samurai Sanders posted:I think The Right Stuff had it backwards and it's "no Buck Rogers, no bucks". To a certain extent this is actually true. In that in a draw between a hypothetical horde of advanced robots that could do exploration and humans doing the same thing... humans will be far more likely to fund the humans project or none at all. It helps that we're still at the point where it takes something like Curiosity about a year or so to do what would take a person in a suit about a week, but it also puts into perspective the inherent way we're more likely to fund something if people are involved directly.

Science Channel just showed them getting into the Teslas and the dude was talking about how they can't touch their family (because obviously), and one astronaut rolled down the window and grabbed his wife's hand.

Damnit I was planning on watching this to laugh at the scrubbed mission but I'm getting legitimately excited. Stupid space, being all exciting and fun and overwhelming my disgust at Captain Apartheid.

Renaissance Spam posted:Damnit I was planning on watching this to laugh at the scrubbed mission but I'm getting legitimately excited. fwiw SpaceX is supposedly much less hosed up than Tesla, mostly because they have competent management that keeps Ole' Musky from loving up everything. Also, the rocket industry has had decades of grift and rot from defense contractors so there's actually lots of room to improve. Elon is just the money guy (despite what the drooling twitter stans claim) and every now and then his add manic child brain who loves movie sci-fi gimmicks manages to fund something useful. The water tower though is *totally* a dumb side project to keep Musky occupied and away from actually important things.

if any group of scientists and engineers have a chance of turning a "water tower" into a functional flying spacecraft it's probably the same people that finally built reusable rocket boosters while the rest of the private space industry was content to churn out billion-dollar expendable handjobs for it's shareholders

“of course i still love you”? oh it’s the landing platform. huh. uh. the feed from it cut off then they came back to the booster and it looked fine.......almost like it was faked wolfs has issued a correction as of 20:34 on May 30, 2020 |

So the first stage is reusable, what about the second stage? Could see it dwindling away in those final shots. Is it going to burn up in the atmosphere or splash down somewhere?

More than the rocket I'm interested in those new spacesuit designs, like how much more light weight and flexible they are then existing ones.

I wonder if the suits retain all the environmental control bits and the pressure bladders in the legs. I could actually see them being stiffer from the more tailored cut if so

Samurai Sanders posted:More than the rocket I'm interested in those new spacesuit designs, like how much more light weight and flexible they are then existing ones. They're pressure suits, not space suits. Mostly designed to maintain O2 to the astronaut during launch, landing or whatever more dangerous maneuver. They can't function as spacesuits for spacewalking though.
