Congrats SpaceX! A job well done.
I assumed this launch would be uneventful since SpaceX has been flying numerous missions to the ISS, and this one merely has people on it but is basically business-as-usual for them.
- cryptoz 6y agoI think they've been flying the cargo dragon missions with a full-atmosphere pressure inside the capsule, just to prove that even if a person had been in there for a cargo launch they very well may have survived (at least, if they had a chair I guess)
- ygra 6y agoDidn't some of those missions had live cargo in mice form anyway, making an atmosphere necessary? Only the trunk is unpressurized, AFAIK.
- thePunisher 6y agoThe very first Dragon that went up to ISS had life support enabled. When it landed Musk himself said that had there been astronauts on board they would've had a nice ride. Even though that was 8 years ago (!) I can still remember it clearly.
