Space talk: Pons-Brooks comet until April 21

[MissAutumn]

Anyone watching the SpaceX live stream?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I had to work so I missed it!

Did you get to watch?

[galled]

I watched it. I got teary eyed... so awesome!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I found a link and watched the video of it! So glad everything went off well! (Hopeful for future trips).

It takes so long to get to the space station though! Who would have known?

[Uchuuko]

I was invited to the livestream, but I decided not to watch because I was out and about at the time. That's great that SpaceX was able to follow through with its plans so far.

[MissAutumn]

It was so exciting and fascinating. I'm happy it went smoothly. I'm hoping this will help with future space programs as it's something the world should be investing in.

Lemon, they were doing a couple of test flights once they got into orbit. So that might be why it's going to take so long.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Looks like they made it aboard now!

[MissAutumn]

I saw it too. They must be exhausted.

[galled]

Yes! A great achievement, but I'll breath a great sigh of relief when they're back on earth!

[MissAutumn]

Have they said how long they'll be on the ISS?

[galled]

I haven't heard, but I'm guessing they'll be returning on the Dragon. It'll be a nail-biter! I'm so nervous about it, but I know everything will go well! Yes, it will!

"Oumumua...the interstellar object could be made of hydrogen ice. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but it's rarely observed in a solid form."

This is the cigar shaped ( I think it kind of looks like a whale without a tale), space object first discovered in 2017.

[galled]

Looks like the object set on destroying the earth in Star Trek IV... oh no!

[Polaris]

I like the new and improved astronaut suits they designed, and the Tesla they used to transport the astronauts (as opposed to the ye old AstroVan)!

[galled]

Agreed! While watching the video feed of the crew, if I didn't know it was real, I would have thought it I was watching a sci-fi movie. It's so cool--we're living the future!!
