Small window next lap. Looks like for my view it will start in the West around Denver/Cheyenne area and end in the Oklahoma City/Dallas area.

Saw it again. Could not pick up the Dragon. Still awesome.

Caught it! We had a ton of haze, but the clouds broke just enough to catch ISS, and after staring a bit my wife noticed Dragon out maybe 5-10 seconds (10 degrees?) in front. I've tried a few times and failed, so super cool to see it with Bob and Doug on board.

Awesome. We were not able to find the Dragon on either pass. Not dark enough the first pass, and patch cloud cover would have hampered the second pass. I did catch them both back in late May or early June though... also about 10 degrees apart. That was quite a sight!

Just saw that the nose cone is closed right after the de-orbit burn.

Trunk separation will be the start of the "exciting" stuff. Coming up at 1:51pm EDT. It'll take about an hour from that point until they're in the water. |

Kind of a late addition from Tim, but here's a 30-minute video with details about the entire splashdown sequence if anyone's interested in something to burn some time before the fun starts.

I was kind of expecting cameras on the trunk, if not Dragon itself, to see the separation and burn. Maybe I'm spoiled...

Yeah, they need to come up with some visuals to show for this part. Kind of hard to stay excited when all you get is a narrator.
