SpaceX. They have recovery vessels dedicated to it
Is the mission control room part of SpaceX or a new NASA MC somewhere?Ag_of_08 said:bigjag19 said:

Looks like a LAN party for MMORPG games.

This is epic!
Once they're through blackout, there's a high altitude plane that will have eyes on it. Yes?

I miss the NASA Select channel that would basically just show you whatever was going on with the mission control audio loop going and occasional updates from the PR guy.
I just flipped to it, just now, to check and see....yep, still there.
Currently mission control, and a chick and a dude talking about things going on. Just showed the flight path.
No, I don't care what CNN or Miss NOW said this time

Well, I never heard of the NASA channel until I turned my hotel TV on in Orlando, and now Melbourne. It's about 75% video of nerds in a control room and the dude and chick will break in.TexAgs91 said:Key words being "occasional updates"BigRobSA said:You don't have it?TexAgs91 said:

Earlier they were showing live feed from the capsule. They stopped once Bob and Doug started working. It would be more interesting if they would show the actual work going on.

When the capsule is free flying it's SpaceX's MC. Thats one of the biggest things with this mission....spacex is running the show, NASA is a passenger.
Explains why the MC looks like a nerd's LAN party and not 50 yr old tech riveted to the table.Ag_of_08 said:BigRobSA said:Is the mission control room part of SpaceX or a new NASA MC somewhere?Ag_of_08 said:bigjag19 said:

Power draw, and comms availability are probably big parts of this, they just jettisoned their SM and ability to generate electricity.
I also have a hunch they preferred not to show some of the more dangerous facets.
I expected better video from SpaceX so far. I hope I'm not disappointed with the chute deployment and splashdown.
Nose-cone closed now. Believe that is the last step before a formal descent for entry.

The PR guy talked more than I remember but it's much more centered around the audio between the crew and cap com. He'll stop whenever they are talking so he doesn't interrupt them and summarizes what they're saying.
Now, yes you do see the nerds, but you don't hear much from them or the crew.

Seriously, it's another time to ponder that NASA wouldn't let SpaceX land the crewed dragon on land precisely, as it intended, opting for the 'safer' water landing parachute style. Oh well, I suppose most astronauts don't get seasick real easily.
How did SpaceX want to land them and where?

They dropped powered landing because NASA wasn't willing to pay for the development, and they abandoned the use of dragon for a mars landing, so there was no point in continuing.
the crew is not talking a ton atm. They shut up when the crew talks, but this is a much more automated re-entry
Was in Cape Canaveral watching Demo-2 take off, glued to my screen awaiting a safe return!

It is also very difficult, if not impossible, to transmit during the re-entry process which is underway.

Expected comms blackout has begun. Should be done at :42 after.
10 min away from splash down
I wanna see our defense pissed off, not confused, maybe a little murder in their hearts
Reload12, 11/4/11
Watching!!
Yeah, that's during the maximum heating during re-entry. For about 6 minutes.titan said:

Shuttle was able to transmit to geostationary satellites during re-entry. The SpaceX capsule may not have that capability.
Theyre expecting the spotter to go live on acquisition.
live comms early! They're through blackout

All four chutes out and opened! Yay!

Chutes out, welcome home, and welcome back to spaceflight to the US.
All chutes deployed, landing soon
Spash down! Welcome home!
splashdown!
splashdown!
Capsule rides high in the water, very buoyant clearly.

Thanks for flying Space X, Buh-bye, buh-bye now.
Beautiful!
You may now turn on your electronic devices.
kind of laughing at the recovery boats. I thought they would use a larger vessel, like a navy or coast guard boat.
at the very least...a bad ass Miami Vice type speedboat!!
