A New Step Into Space
Re: A New Step Into Space
Hard dock completed. Sorting things out ready for opening hatch. I must say the photography was remarkable quality.The view from Dragon towards the space station was awesome. Talking of the progress made since Apollo etc. I just watched the whole event live from my PC no big TV network. Quality of image light years ahead. Dragon is a 7 seater whilst we do appear to have gone back in shape, the amount of new vehicles coming on line the next few years, Their reliability and increase capabilities, may mean that the pause that happens after Apollo. will at last start us back to the moon and beyond.

Re: A New Step Into Space
I was amazed at how quickly it took off and cleared the tower, I was sort of expecting it to be a lot slower but guess its not carrying as much weight as the Saturn V or Shuttle did!
...and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in Space cos there's bugger all down here on Earth!

Sadly, you'll never ever get all the Earth bound things sorted. There'll always be something else. Sometimes you've just got to do something for the hell of it. To that I say, let's go!

Thing that strikes me is the Wellie boots they are wearing straight out of a early Sci fi movie or UFO etc
Re: A New Step Into Space
Hello! Where do you see in all this a new step into space?
Has he brought you any benefit? Just a rich dreamer indulges. Why not discuss the prospects of new private space companies? (There are many of them). And most of them can bring practical benefits to society right now. Launches of satellites for the Internet, meteorological observations, etc.
Do you know any of those who do real things?

Surely it's the mere point that it has happened that is significant. The real work can start now on the practical applications, but no one is going to have really given that much thought until they knew it was actually possible.
