    No longer a Demo mission, first operational mission with a human crew (four astronauts).

    @Kirwan did I read somewhere the other day that SpaceX are now certified for pretty much all operations ? I'm assuming the post-Demo mission data had to be raked over.

    That starship sub-orbital test is coming up soon too. That's going to be spectacular (success or fail!)

    Yeah, a while to go, pretty cool seeing them get into the capsule though.

    I love the diagrams. That really makes it all look quite simple. 🙂 I like the "Just Read the Instructions Drone Ship"

    That's a fucking cool looking rocket.

    Not reusable, which is quaint 😉, but still cool
