Probably some combination of 1) trolls, 2) mistakes, and 3) people who still think that space exploration isn't a good use of funds.

Yep.

EDIT: In case it's helpful to clarify, there are Draco thrusters (which are the same as they've used on Dragon V1) and SuperDraco engines (which are used for launch abort situations). They use the former to maneuver in space - the latter are just for emergencies (though they had originally hoped to use them for propulsive landing instead).

Thanks.

Or maybe they were disappointed there was no explosion.

Has anybody else noticed a little wobble from time to time kinda like its just dangling on puppet strings. Maybe this is all fake?

I'm just tuning in. When they are talking axis's. Is Z vertical? And if so, is X or Y right and left?

What's "big loop"?

Donger 05-31-2020 08:10 AM

The trunk contains cargo and is unpressurized, right?

It's probably easiest just to try it yourself:

Design flaw. That cone flipped up is right in front of the windshield.

Not 100% sure. Maybe they're referring to radio loops? (channels with everyone = the big loop?)

Yes, though I'm not sure there's actually any cargo this time.

I will try this after while. This looks pretty cool.

Sounds like it, yes.

How is it accessed from Dragon?

It's not. The trunk only holds unpressurized cargo, and they grab it out of there with Canadarm.

While it's still attached to Dragon? Or do they detach the trunk and pick stuff out?
