NASA - all systems weren’t go ( But they are now)

Beep Beep....what?

It's a reference to Armageddon

About 50 seconds in.

Amazing pictures especially the rocket landing.

Nah, didn't happen; the feed is live, then they lose signal, and then by magic it's there. It's a Trump set-up.

Just for clarity, I'm not a Flat Earther and that was said in jest.

Oh I have no doubt about that - I’m not sure who the flat earther that was there.

It’s passed Leighton

The Donald. Well, he might not be a flat farther himself, but a lot of them are following him.

Well done Imurg. Spotted/watched it pass, low in the southern skies at 10:12pm.
Fantastic

I suspect that was the ISS and not the Dragon....that was much lower in the sky, moving much faster and very dim.
We didnt see it in Aylesbury but we have a lot of street lighting.
Should have been kn view between 22.16- 22.18

 

[larmen]

Didn’t see anything either. Tried to take some photographs of the moon instead but couldn’t be bothered to get the tripod.

You are right Imurg (unfortunately ?). Have since found a local news article and it states ISS would be seen at 10:10pm travelling W to SE. Dragon about 10:18pm but probably too low in the sky.
Still, happy on spotting ISS. Thanks.

Is there a reason why their space suits look less cumbersome and definitely cooler than previous versions? Presumably they do the same job still.

They don't need a proper suit, as they are in a film studio?

You sure that was not a buzzard in PPE.

They learnt after watching all the repeats of Space 1999 last year.

Thanks for that the people out before me said they spotted the ISS but none of managed to see the Dragon. One of the things I did see one was of the best meteors I have seen in my life (unless it was the Astronauts discarding the rubbish) about 20 to 30 degrees of arc.

I thought the new suits looked awful tbh.

Great pics of the space station
