I'm just a fan of SpaceX and have no skin in the game whatsoever, and I get butterflies whenever I think about this launch. I still remember the sinking feeling I had watching the CRS-7 livestream like it was yesterday, but having human lives at stake is a whole different ballgame. All the best to SpaceX tomorrow (or whenever the launch actually happens).

> have no skin in the game whatsoever Well, aside from your taxes being blown on an orbiting astronaut aquarium. Virtually no science, or anything else of value, is done on the ISS.

  Come on :) . How we're supposed to learn how to fly to space. It could be done way more effective, yes. Yes, it's a political question.

    > How we're supposed to learn how to fly to space. Space is too big for people to go anywhere within human lifespans. Hoping for human space exploration isn't a strategy. This is similar to the current corona lockdown. Hoping for national US testing and tracing doesn't get you there, so give it a rest.
