During the whoopla on Wednesday's not-launch, some airhead on social media asked why we are taking 19 hours to get to the ISS when the Russians only take 6.
The Soyuz gets there faster because the astronauts find Soyuz capsules to be smelly, cramped, and all around no fun.

Fine, as long as they pay us as much as we had to pay them.   Plus a little extra for a newer vehicle.

This is also a new vehicle and they wanted to take time running it through some test and I think they did some hand flying.

Technically, Dragon 1 is birthed rather than being docked like Dragon 2.

Why aren't the "VIPs" at NASA already there?

The crew made sure to get to the ISS 15-minutes early, so they wouldn't be late.

The VIPs are slacking.

The shuttle controls looked an awful lot like those in the Soyuz. Definitely less cramped.

A 40 year jump in tech is pretty incredible to see back to back.

He hit his head on the Dragon's Hatch Bulkhead exiting the Crew Dragon.

He was rubbing his head as he was getting onto the ISS.

You mean 'hatched'?

...yeah, berthing just means they have to grab it with the arm. Pretty sure all the hatch opening procedures are the same though.

Nice to see the US hatch being used again!

Not that surprising, MVac is pretty overpowered for a second stage engine. I think the Gs at SECO are close to 5.

She has never, for one single moment in her life, lived without an astronaut in space above her.

What grinds my gears is that the average person probably can not name a single astronaut that is in orbit right now without help, but can give you the names of all the pokemon or everything about some brain-dead celebrity.
There were 950k people watching this launch.
There were 650k people watching the docking.

How many people know the names of these three men?


I'll give a small hint.

I’m pretty sure that huge package jammed in there is cargo, which future dragon crew capsules will jam packed with as well as more than 2 dudes. It’ll look a lot more like the first pic than the second when it’s a real mission.
