I grew up in the 60's and 70's, during the "space race". As someone who has NEVER tired of seeing this, I just have to say that the "coolness factor" of SpaceX launches never ceases to be absolutely amazing!!! My hat's off to the crew and pilots of SpaceX!!!!

this is very scare, my cat sad

Now that's a true "commercial space flight"! Not like shooting some people up, shout "Whow, space!", and immediately fall down again ...

Hehehe funny comment😂

[@patrickd9551]

Whow there bud, it was AT LEAST a few minutes of space. With few defined as the bare minimum to get to call it more then one, ie two 🤣🤣🤣

was that a hint to new shepard? :D they've learned something by now, new glenn will hopefully fly soon.

This is one of the best rocket launch ever seen Landing of the booster was perfect

LOL! The future is UNKNOWN! Duh.

Nice to see inside Dragon during launch. What a smooth ride!

[@gregorylproctor]

I saw this from Northern Virginia this morning at 5:40 as I was driving to work. Pretty cool! It looked like a small white light with a white glowing exhaust spreading out behind it. A large glowing V shape in the eastern sky.

lucky you

Yeah, try keeping your eyes on the road buddy.

This is so amazing! Great job spaceX team!!

[@timbacchus]

Amazing no vibration at all in crew seats.

[@danno9815]

Yeah odd. I remember the on the old shuttle launches videos the crew used to shake about a lot.

[@chaoz1666]

@@danno9815 I think a big part of that is the very smooth burn you get from the merlin engines and ofc because there are no solid rocket boosters attached. Those really add vibrations

[@timbacchus]

@@danno9815 I thought some of the Shuttle crew would loose their teeth.

[@johnvogel641]

The roar of the Merlin engines of Falcon 9 is such an awesome sound .

[@ryen7512]

watching that distance go by at 1km/sec just 2 min and 30 sec after launch is mind boggling! these things really full send.

[@johnjones5354]

Never gets old.

[@LennardA320]

Looks like that the speed at MECO and the Apogee of the 1st booster was much higher than other SpaceX Launces. Also the speed at entry burn was thousands km/u more than normal. Has this anything to do with the higher orbit of the dragon? So a more vertical flight?

[@chaoz1666]

In rocketry the last you want to do is fly directly up when going to orbit, what you notices is indeed the higher insertion speed to get to the intended orbit. But i wouldn't say it is more "vertical" as they are really just going much faster sideways which will lead to a higher final orbital height.

[@Aureliano247]

Isso sim é SpaceX mesmo, não existe falha em Falcon 9 kkkkkkkk

[@jackreacher.]

I was looking forward to observing the effect on our astronauts during throttle down, shut down, ignition, and throttle up with second stage engine. Now I have a skeptical interest in personnel involvement.

[@janesmith716]

This why we all have rocket fuel in our food

[@MoreLifePlease]

Is that astronaut on the left alive? Or did he/she pull a "Hicks" and fall asleep?

[@chaoz1666]

they are dealing with around 4g of acceleration so basically 4 times the pressure on your body than you would normally feel. That makes any movement quite difficult and strenuous. No surprise they are hardly moving

[@MoreLifePlease]

@@chaoz1666 No, just the one on the left. Even after they entered a micro-gravity environment, he/she seemed immobile. JK, BTW. I don't really think there was a dead astronaut on board. 😉

[@yomudd4x443]

I wonder if the speed and G forces give the females an orgasm, or if they have training to resist it?

Can we have multiple views of crew , next time?!?!?! And even outside??!?!... Put like 20 .... 30$ cameras all over inside the capsule. Dang...its cheap.

[@Annie-xh2dt]

For all those comments knocking other rocket projects: I would venture if space is our future we would want as many successful companies as possible just like down on Earth because isn’t competition good for everyone. It seems very short sighted to bad mouth every project that is not SpaceX.

Is this the first time 4 crew have been launched together into space on one vehicle?

I think that's maximum capacity. Pretty sure it's happening before.

No. All Crew Dragon flights, bar the first one with Bob and Doug, have had four aboard. Shuttle mission STS-61-A had eight onboard for the entire flight.

so when will elon bring lab crew back? next flight? when? nn

[@phorias]

it is not his crew, that is NASA and Boeing. SpaceX will get them back down anyway somewhere in February when their working contracts finish and other people on the ISS will have to come back down when their shift ends. You rather pay them those huge monthly salaries than getting them back down and pay some millions USD for the ride. They are working there meanwhile and I am sure they are not complaining

[@Tsunami_Japan_]

Ridiculousness finally has a meaning! The allerged rocket is much too slow. So it is fake.
