SpaceX DM-1 Undocking & Splashdown

that we are waiting for all that, yes, at this point, the Dragon spacecraft is well below the international space station and quite a few kilometers ahead of it at this point and that is just to make sure that once the trunk separates not be in the Basically, it's the same orbital plane as the International Space Station, so that's going to be the next big milestone coming up and then the deorbiting that's going to go through all of those times in a moment, but it's going to be about a 15 shot. minutes of those. launch those thrusters on Dragon and that will basically take it out of orbit, so it will fire these thrusters until that trajectory is basically pointing towards the ocean in the Atlantic, where we will land a spacecraft built for humans for the first time in 50 years, so this is going to be a really exciting morning and, like I said, we're going to give you some great views.

The sun is already out on the east coast so we'll have a nice

splashdown

during the day as someone having seen this specific vehicle being built over the last few years is also pretty awesome as I mentioned earlier in today's webcast, see the astronauts aboard the International Space Station floating in and out of the capsule as they opened the hatch and that was very exciting and then when Byrnes left earlier, to see the footage of the station as the dragon left, it was just incredible , we had some incredible shots and we have seen the artistic renderings for a couple of years, what it would look like when Dragon was on the station and seeing it finally was just a wonderful moment in terms of those of us who have invested so many hours in this spacecraft, It looks real out there, but I mean, as it's part of it, it happened early in the The crews spent the day aboard the space station, so they've since moved on to other tests.

They actually woke up about an hour before their undocked dragon was there operating on Greenwich Mean Time, so it was early morning for them, but they did it. Offer some cool words as the dragon undocked and flew away once it was outside the approach ellipsoid, about a kilometer from the International Space Station and, as Kate said, executed all of its exit burns that were executed for the burns departure after that initial separation. Basically, getting it out in front and then around and finally underneath the International Space Station, where it's now in its orbit waiting for this trunk separation and eventually the deorbit burns up, yeah, in terms of the history of SpaceX, this mission of demonstration is incredibly important as it is As I said, the demonstration of our crew program, interestingly, the Dragon spacecraft that is hanging behind me here at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, is similarly the same demonstration mission of our cargo program that we have been operating for NASA for the last few years in In terms of the cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station, who knows if the demo1 capsule will also be behind us here at Hawthorne.

I don't think we have the structural support for that, but in terms of what you see behind me, it's similar. in terms of historical reference for the importance of today's mission and that capsule actually already has another mission on the books, SpaceX is planning to use it in its ascent abort test that will take place a little later this year and that will be between demonstration one that We are about to conclude today with demonstration two, which will be the first flight in which we will have our astronauts aboard that spacecraft. Bob Bankin and Doug Hurley, the two NASA astronauts, will be the first to take Dragon into space and the asset on board.

It will be a very interesting test. Yes, I wouldn't want to get involved with Ickx, there are a lot of G forces, but it will be very important for us to be able to demonstrate the ability of the capsule to exit the vehicle in an urgent situation. I need to do it so we're all looking forward to that test flight as it's also something we've been working on for the last few years and yes that should happen in a couple of months here yes and that will be the second abortion that they've done because they already did a paddle board test with a Dragon spacecraft, so they basically just put the vehicle through its paces at all rates, all these different abort test missions like this one right now, ultimately, with that goal of sending humans to the International Space Station otta crew dragon yeah, something else really interesting about today's mission and indeed the commercial crew program in terms of Space We are landing in the Atlantic.

As we mentioned earlier, like the commercial, excuse me, the Dragon capsule cargo resupply mission had all the capsules landing in the Pacific, so today is really exciting, we're really excited to bring you footage of our recovery team as we take out the Atlantic Dragon. Ocean, there have been a lot of firsts today, there have been a lot of firsts all week and to say that the adrenaline has been pumping around here is an understatement, yes, even, I mean, we even had a crowd this morning behind us. They gathered at the control and now there is a big celebration, it's the landing where I am here on the west coast, but the crowd is already starting to gather here at SpaceX headquarters, but an interesting note, yes, normally those cargo dragons They land in the Pacific and while this. vehicle designed ultimately for a crew, it also carries some cargo, it carried about 400 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station and has been packed with a little over 300 pounds for the trip home and that is divided into a couple of different areas, one One of the most interesting and one that NASA is very interested in is recovering what we call utilization, so some scientific samples actually have two bags that are basically like onboard refrigerators that are full of these cold bricks that were able to put scientific samples so that those of us who return home today using some of the human research projects aboard the International Space Station like to say that the astronauts are experiments in themselves that he is pushing and shoving while they're up there just to see how the human body changes and reacts to microgravity and a lot of the samples from a couple of those projects are coming home to Dragon today, they're also bringing home a couple of radiation monitors and one thing that our Kirk Charmin program director for the space station program noted that it will also have a fan pump separator and that is actually a part of the space suits.

The e/m use of extra vehicular mobility units. I'm from NASA. Too many acronyms and it's a piece that actually failed in orbit. It's been a while and they're bringing it home to take a look at it as they replaced it with a spare unit and we have some spacewalks coming up in March so we're pretty busy in space at the moment but it's all in my focus right now. I'm looking at this Dragon Cup, so the next milestone we'll have in about seven minutes is the trunk separation, we'll take a break for a few minutes and while we wait for that, stay tuned and I'll see you in a couple, okay? so a little update from SpaceX this morning sorry I had to skip just for a second here we go we got the music back SpaceX music now to download it.

YouTube doesn't freak out about music, but yeah, I jumped for a second just to fix my screen behind me, see if I can get it to stop moving, but yeah, it looks like we're on schedule, there doesn't seem to be any problem that are currently researching or researching, but basically starting at about 750 AM. ET, which is in about 8 minutes, they actually said the trunk separation for trunk disposal would be a little bit earlier, so it'll probably get here in about five minutes. They are going to discard the trunk. get rid of that because they are not going to bring that back with them that will burn up in the atmosphere and that will be expendable, no way, it is much less expensive to spend it and then let it burn than I try to try to save that and it is not al End of the day, it's not a big percentage of the cost.

I know a lot of people are really trying to get 100 percent reusable rockets and we might get there one day, maybe with the /bf spacecraft they could possibly be 100 percent reusable, but yeah, as of today they still aren't 100 percent reusable, so the trunk comes out and then the capsule, the capsule will obviously come back, go through re-entry and that Perishes, comes back, there is no propulsive landing. They have the super Draco engines probably capable of performing propulsive landings, but they are not doing so, so they have no plans to do so at this time. Those were the first plans in the early days.

It was considering doing a propulsive landing, so when I say they're capable of doing it, I mean they're powerful enough to do it, but I don't think they have the software included to actually do it. that action as of today one thing that was interesting that someone raised a question if you think about the CRS 7 mission where SpaceX had a failure in stage 1 and lost the capsule and all the cargo and everything that was a cargo resupply. because for the space station one of the things that they had said at the time that they had since fixed was that in case of some kind of failure and the capsule separated, they should have, they didn't, but they should have had some kind of of software to command the deployment of the parachutes and they could have saved all the cargo from that failed CRS 7 mission, the rocket, the rocket itself failed, the capsule separated and survived and ended up crashing into the ocean because the parachutes never deployed and that's simply because they had never put any software or any kind of contingency in place to say "hey, if this happens, let's pull out the parachutes and bring it home and we'll get it back." Questions were raised and I don't think this is there, but I really have no idea, but if something were to happen and the parachutes didn't open in the capsule, is there some kind of backup contingency that says, well, hey, you know?

If the parachutes fail for any reason, ignite the super Draco engines and perform a propulsive landing. I don't know, I don't know the answer one hundred percent. My feeling is that no, that's not in place because you have four parachutes on board. There's a lot of redundancy in terms of parachutes, so I don't think they'd risk trying to add engines that fire into this whole landing process in case you put them in and then potentially they could accidentally fire if something was wrong there, but, but I don't know, it's kind of interesting, so let me go back and look at some of the comments here.

I see a group of people look at him and say hello. I see you do, rat, man, rat, man from Toronto, hello, Toronto. Someone said I should launch a balloon there and try to get images which would be very difficult to make. Try to get images of a balloon. I mean, you have to control the balloon and get into the right area. of the right area so as not to piss anyone off because you're blowing things up in the middle of their recovery area and three so we can get a video on the balloon, we have to recover the balloon and this is happening far away. in the ocean, speaking of offshore, we could take a look and see where in the ocean this is happening, so we keep talking about this happening in the Atlantic, which is absolutely true, very different from the cargo dragon or dragon one that descends and falls from the Pacific, this one is falling into the Atlantic Ocean, so what we are looking at here is the flight hazard map, which also has the same map that we saw almost a week ago that had all the launch hazards so this line here these are the launch hazards right next to the launch pad the orange area is where the autonomous spaceport ship caught the first stage booster but really what we're interested in today it's this purple area the purple area is the recovery hazards and this is its expected landing area before the crew dragon there so I have an idea where it's going down you would also have an idea about the path it's going to take because actually It's going to fly over the United States, it's coming in this kind of direction to fly over the United States and then land here, so obviously NASA has risk assessments that they've done and they feel confident and safe and that's where it's all going to go. lower.

I see SpaceX is back on a jump on them for that fragment separation again. We expect to receive that call only on internal networks at any time. It will be the next major milestone then or beyond a deorbit burn exactly, so we should get that call any day now while we wait for trunk separation. This is the last thing the dragon has to dosituation where there is crew on board, it is about that time to get the crew out of the water and onto the boat so they can do all their initial medical checks and everything we normally do after the crew members. are coming back from these long duration missions and may outweigh the fact that we see the crew exit the capsule, how wonderful will that be, with the waves looking pretty calm, although it looks like really good conditions in the Atlantic again, there is a just over 200 boats. miles off the Florida coast and will eventually return to Port Canaveral, where they will bring the spacecraft back and deliver it to SpaceX teams, where they will begin processing and then prepare to convert it. looking for that asset on board, yes, we have been monitoring the recovery weather conditions for the last few days and now that recovery day has arrived, we can see that we have beautiful skies and a relative will, in my non-professional nautical knowledge, seas relatively calm.

I see it with my eyes, but you know it's really difficult to be able to predict what the weather will be like at sea very far in advance, so we are all very happy to be able to have clear images of the recovery team while we are progressing here. I feel like we've been lucky with the Florida weather so far on this mission. Okay, we're here and there's about 1 minute left in this deorbit burn, so we're almost done with that and this is just the final maneuver. The images that we drag and drop back into space and down the video should be in orbit when you're doing a couple of views from aboard the Dragon spacecraft, that's what you're looking at, so once the orbit, we have about 35 minutes from end of burn to

splashdown

, so I have some time to go yet, but they are getting closer, this is what we are seeing here.

I'm guessing it's the T orbit burnup. It's a bit abstract, but this is a view from Crew Dragon. Burning deorbit. Now we'll just stand still. stop by and hear how the deorbit process went should conclude momentarily and a couple of people on YouTube commented that guys like Dan said we're waiting for confirmation of the conclusion of the deorbit process that's been going on for the last few minutes and we like it. said before Dragon departed the space station today it performed a series of exit burns and now hopefully we are exiting the final burner which is the reentry burn and there on the left side of the screen you can see our ship recovery waiting for landing. of the dragon once we get out of this, once we get out of the reentry burn, we will have the parachute deployment.

The first of these will be the discharge parachutes, the smaller parachutes that slow down the vehicle, followed by the deployment of the main parachute which will slow it down. down further, allowing it to reach a slower speed as it approaches the ocean surface and we are told that it was a nominal burn, so the deorbit burn is complete. The dragon is on his way home. It's another good milestone that will help. you are that the dragon's nose cone is going to close, we hear that the process is now in operation and then it is time for the Dragon to actually pass through the Earth's atmosphere and finally land, then that is where the vehicle will warm up tremendously because again you have To keep in mind that the dragon is traveling thousands of miles per hour right now and when it hits the thickest part of the Earth's atmosphere it will heat up tremendously from the friction and this is actually a video of the nose which begins to close in on the Dragon spaceship there. we're closing the zipper on the nose cone, we have to get that and again that nose cone just bounces back to protect the top of the vehicle from all re-entry events, not just re-entry through the Earth's atmosphere but also once in the water and that protects the guidance, navigation and control sensors on the top of Dragon and also the docking ring that it uses to connect to the space station, so again what you're looking at now is the nose cone closing on the Dragon spacecraft. while we wait for it to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, yeah, that gives us a little bit of perspective on what we're actually seeing before, so that black abstract image that we were seeing before was apparently outside the docking port in the top of the capsule and it looks like we're looking at the top of the capsule while the capsule was in orbit, it was starting a burn in the opposite direction so that the gum of the nose looks like it's almost closed. wait for a final confirmation that everything looks good, but pretty soon we'll be looking towards the actual input interface, so that's again where the dragon starts hitting enough atmosphere to start heating up because at this point it's still high enough even after. that deorbit burn that doesn't feel those effects yet, the atmosphere will get thicker as it starts to descend and that will heat up the vehicle, which is why you always have this heat shield on the bottom of these spacecraft and that's why a lot From Morin there is this conical shape, since many engineers that I have talked to like to say that the physics has not changed since the 1960s, when we made the spacecraft back then, it was because of that shape that for a reason and That's why it's so common to see this capsule design just because the way it reenters Earth's atmosphere makes a lot of sense, so we just heard confirmation that the nose cone hooks have begun the process of securing the nose cone in place before the re-entry bird is correct, so there is actually an early moment when the signal is lost with the spacecraft and that is simply because as When you re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and go through that intense heat, the plasma actually builds up on the outside of the spacecraft and you can't send or receive signals from there, so it's very common that when there are people on board lose voice communication between them and Earth and lose all telemetry or data streams coming from the spacecraft to rooms like the Mission Control Center right behind us here. in Hawthorne, so that will happen, we expect it to happen around five, what time is 5:30? 3:00 a.m. m.

Pacific, so it will arrive in about 20 minutes exactly and after we can pass. that phase of the mission, as we said before, will be the deployment of the parachutes and then the landing, so just a quick recap in case you joined us recently, we have left the International Space Station. The dragon completed a series of departures. burns in a slowly choreographed maneuver and now we have jettisoned the Dragon spacecraft's trunk, completed the deorbit burn, and are now beginning to make our way back through Earth's atmosphere and the final leg of the dragons' path home. , so The nose cones closed and we will be waiting until we go through that input interface and that will be in about 20 minutes from time to time, once I get there, it will be time for the parachutes and we talk about the parachute.

It's been a while and hopefully we should be able to see those parachutes maybe from the plane, but once it's below the cloud cover, we should be able to see them from the boats that will be waiting in the recovery area and it comes in two different stages. Can you guide us through the parachutes real quick? Yes, with the parachutes we will have the drop parachutes. Those are the smaller parachutes that will come out and slow the vehicle down a little bit and then we will have the The main parachutes are clearly visible because of their orange and white color, they are very iconic if you have seen the Dragon's previous splashdowns for the resupply missions. load, so we'll have that and then that's what will slow the vehicle down enough to have a safe landing. in the water, so at this point another fun fact about Dragon on the return to land, these seats inside the capsule at this point have been activated or rotated to the re-entry position, so depending on what phase of mission we encounter, the seats will actually actuate or adjust the angle to make sure the g-force that the astronauts will experience is in the right places, so with that said, we will be taking a short break from active operations here at SpaceX, so with that said this we'll take a quick break be sure to stay tuned for us as we go through this early blackout period with the Dragon capsule we'll be back in a few as we come back in anticipation of parachute deployment stay well so there we are.

I have the deorbit burn, it has been completed, the nose cone has retracted back to the normal position and the hooks were securing it in place, so now we are waiting for the re-entry interface which will appear in about 15 minutes . is when the reentry interface starts and this is the critical part, this is the part that Elon had said they were concerned about but they were a little concerned, I mean they have done simulations, they are well prepared for this, but it was a slight concern. for the next mission just because you know that's what they need.

This is the first real-world test of this, so there will always be some nerves and you have to wonder like all these simulations that we do and these tests. that we ran for months and months and months, they're really going to happen that way in real life and we'll find out here shortly, but I have confidence in them, I mean, everything so far on this mission has gone so well so we'll watch you touch my wooden desk here and we'll see how it goes, but we should be looking at splashdown in less than 30 minutes now we're about 28 minutes away from splashdown here or at least a scheduled landing so they splash, they'll come in under a parachute , there's no boost landing, they won't try to catch you, it's much safer and it was much easier for NASA to certify that the capsule is ready for the crew to just use parachutes and drop into the Oh, any of those other things, the boost landing , trying to catch it or something, add an element of complexity that would make certification much more difficult for the crew, so simply using a parachute and splashing around in the water was the way to go and, from the point of view of restoration, NASA for their crew will use all new capsules every time, so NASA didn't really care how they recovered them because as long as they recovered them safely, that was their main concern because they were only going to use one new capsule next time, but SpaceX, you know, they'll be worried about restoring it and recovering it and things like that, this particular capsule is scheduled for in-flight abort testing, I think it's scheduled. for May yet, this capsule will be reused for the renovation and it will be reused for the in-flight abort test and then there will be a new capsule for demonstration two, the first manned mission and then the host said Kate said they can actually show it.

In fact, what you can see here is the charging dragon. They can display it at SpaceX headquarters, which would be cool. Your milestone. We've also confirmed that the nose cone is closed and the hooks are all engaged, so now we're just waiting for Dragon. began to make its way through the Earth's atmosphere, the deorbitation process lasted a little over 15 minutes and was reported to have been successful, with no issues and Dragon is now on its way; They continue to get excellent views from the ships that are in the landing area and we will also be on the lookout for some video, possibly from a plane we have in the area, one of NASA's WB 57 research planes will try to get some views of Dragon and the parachute deployed and, in fact, coming.

Below the parachutes there are some clouds in the area so the ships may not see them right away, but once they are under those cloud covers they will have great views of them descending, so again on your screen you will be able to see our main image. recovery ship, that's what they went to, but that is our recovery ship that is fully equipped with medical rooms for checkups once we have crew aboard the dragon and for our next mission they will be able to exit the capsule and get an evaluation complete. medical checkup right after, there's also a helipad there where a helicopter can land in case we need to get them back to court sooner than the ship can get to Coe and there on your screen you can actually see I.

As I mentioned Previously, the lift that will take the dragon out of the water has placed it in its recovery position so you can see it on the right side of the screen at the end of the boat and that is what will actually take the dragon out of the water. the water lifts him up and then places him in his nest, which was the official term for him on the ship and then that wasexact, I don't know the exact descent speed, I think it was supposed to land like, I mean, 15 miles per hour, does that sound good?

I could be completely making that up, but I think it's somewhere in that range, it's a pretty gentle splashdown at the end, so you don't know, put big forces on the astronauts and you'll see digital cameras pixelating and we. the camera was pixelating a bit at breakfast time in the cafeteria, yes the Spacex feed is always right above the cafeteria area, you can see it on the left of this image there, but yes you can always hear the sounds from the cafeteria on the broadcast, especially when the broadcast is during the work day, let's see, yeah, well, so we're just hanging out here, we'll see what they have for recovery.

I don't know how long, how much longer we will be here. I'll stay to see the recovery operations. I guess it really depends on what they show here because it's Friday and it's like 9 o'clock and I actually have to get something. Job done for regular work today, but this is a pretty incredible occasion to see the crew's first dragon come down. We got some pretty amazing footage there and then you've got a couple of things to consider for next steps here, so the in-flight aborts have to go well, I mean, it looks like everything from the untrained eye here and just as an observer, oh , we have Jim Brighton Stein for now, although we have another guest for today's broadcast, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, who is standing. by NASA headquarters in Washington DC, so I'll send it to you, sir.

Brydon Stein thinks about defining what this means for NASA and what we have to expect in the future. Absolutely, this is an amazing achievement in American history. In fact, I said it at a press conference at 4:00 in the morning after the launch. This was the beginning of a new era in American human spaceflight and really spaceflight for the entire world thanks to all of our international partners in international space, but this achievement spans many administrations, spans many NASA administrators. I want to start by saying thank you. Mike Griffin, who was the NASA administrator who really got this program during the George W.

Bush administration, and of course Charlie Bolden was the administrator for eight years under President Barack Obama, kept this program strong and then, for Of course, Robert Lightfoot immediately preceded me and Here we are today with this incredible achievement and the current President Trump, his budgets for NASA have been as strong as they have been in my adult life, so this is truly an American achievement that encompasses many, many generations of NASA administrators and in fact, you already know more than a decade of work by the NASA team, so I want to first congratulate the NASA commercial crew program, all the incredible engineers who They have been involved from the beginning.

I want to thank, of course, the incredible achievement of SpaceX and its entire team and the vision of Elon Musk and what he has done to help rejuvenate this very inspiring moment for this new era in American human spaceflight, so this It's really a lively and amazing achievement for all of America, but it's not just for all of America right now go back in time, there are so many people who deserve credit and really what's unique now is that NASA can be a customer and I know there is a long way to go, we launched an unmanned spacecraft. here, of course, we have a demonstration of what a manned spacecraft will be from now on, we have an aborted capsule that we also have to test, so these are all these capabilities of that applauding flight board that is leading to a day when we will launch American astronauts on American rockets from American soil.

I heard when I was a member of Congress. I heard over and over again how we stay consistent in purpose because we seem to lurch from one administration to the next and change visions and budgets. How do we maintain consistency? Well, this is a perfect example of a program when we talk about these things. What NASA does, in many cases it takes decades to achieve this type of capability and consistency of purpose here over all these years is important, but now NASA can be a customer, we can be one of many customers of human spaceflight in what we believe.

It will be a very strong commercial market for space operations and we will have numerous suppliers competing on cost and innovation and, of course, that is how we will be able to do what we have seen now, where rockets are being reused. that we can reuse rockets and reduce costs and increase access to space, an amazing capability for our country and an amazing capability for the world, just as we reuse airplanes, the day will come when we will reuse rockets and space flights will become more routine . We're not there yet, we have a long way to go, but this is an amazing achievement on this path towards a truly sustainable return to the Moon.

Frankly, what is the assignment that the president has given me to take us back to the Moon. so we are reducing the costs of low earth orbit, we are commercializing low earth orbit not only with launch but also eventually with human activities space stations where NASA can be a customer for human activities and low earth orbit and then We can use the taxpayer resources that are given to us, we can use those resources to do exploration, go further and return to the Moon in a sustainable way, where we can stay on the Moon and ultimately go to Mars, and this is a little piece and that really great vision, but it's not a little piece, it's an amazing achievement in the history of the United States of America and it really exemplifies what we can accomplish when we maintain that constancy of purpose, okay and thank you administrator.

Jim Bryden signs off again joining us from NASA headquarters in Washington DC. We are still waiting to get some feedback from all the recovery teams. They are still in that recovery process again. We expected it to be between 30 minutes to an hour until they arrived. The Dragon capsule returns to the ship, so before we get those transmissions, we'll quickly head over to JSC, Johnson Space Center in Houston, where we have a few more people waiting, including Steve Stich, who is the deputy program. manager of NASA's commercial crew program, we also have Mike Hopkins, a NASA astronaut and one of those astronauts who are already assigned to a future dragon mission, and then Mr.

Kenny Todd, he is the integration manager of operations of the International Space Station, so guys, I'll send it to Don't hesitate to give us your opinion on how this mission is going and what the future holds. Very good, thanks Dan. Hey, it's great to be here representing the Commercial Crew program. What an extraordinary day to be a part of our program! You know we left it. our contracts in 2014 for these first missions and to sit here today and talk about the demo1 and how cool the flight was and what we're going to learn from it, it's just amazing, it always seems like the SpaceX team did a phenomenal job preparing the vehicles. and execute the flight, all of our NASA team that worked on the mission and if you just think about the enormity of what happened on this flight and all the preparation that went into, renovating the pad at 39a, setting up the flight control, prepare vehicles. built to prepare for the Falcon nine, all the analysis, all the mission support that went into it, the sims and the practice leading up to this flight over the last year, so it's been a tremendous job.

I would say that one of the things we learn during this flight. It's the great relationship we had between the program and SpaceX. I would say our teams work seamlessly with SpaceX not only in the pre-flight period but how we manage the flight through the Dragon mission management team and then also working with Kenny Todd and the space station program. of the space station did a phenomenal job supporting our program while we were docked to the station on the way to the station and the international association as well, so it was a great opportunity for this mission the last 24 hours.

It's been exciting for us, you know, we battened down the hatches yesterday around noon, we went into

undocking

today around 131am. m. we did some small separations to get away from the station, if you watch that on NASA TV, that was perfect, they separated us about three to get down below the station executed the deorbit burn around 652 a.m. m. central time and then landed just a few minutes ago at 7:45 the vehicle is working fine the recovery teams are on the scene they have already been around the spacecraft and made sure it was safe for the personnel it is possible that have you seen one of the parachutes just happened, it was a very calm day with very low sea states and low winds, one of the parachutes landed on the Dragon capsule, they already removed it, so that's Okay, it will probably take between 32 minutes and maybe an hour to get it back on the ship, but then when you look at this mission overall, it was a great dress rehearsal for Demo 2.

We learned a ton in the lead-up to launch. how to load the vehicle and think about how we will place the crews in the vehicle. you know the asset profile for this flight. We practiced the exact profile that Mike Hopkins and others will be flying with very soon. Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken. We had the abortion. system, this crew escape system and Dragon actually enabled for this flight and we were able to see how it worked and we will recover the data and see those triggers and how it worked. You know, in orbit we got a lot of great data. on the vehicle in terms of thermal performance, energy performance, the vehicle actually performed better than we expected and then the meeting was good.

The things where we arrive, we get those sensors, the link to the space station, they work, the command lake, we watch the vehicle arrive and then we have a Dock very accurately and see how the docking system works was phenomenal and then , during the attached phase, of course, we had cargo operations that will do the same thing on both demonstration missions and then on the crew and on others and then we did a robotic study. of the vehicle to look at the thermal protection system and other systems and that went very well. I'll say one thing, this mission, you know, lasted only six days, it was a sprint from start to finish and, thinking about, you know where we've been in operations in that sprint, I think Kenny would probably tell you the same thing, it was just a phenomenal job. by the team and then of course today you know the decoupling and look at how those systems performed that worked flawlessly, it's a very tight process.

The sequence between decoupling and deorbiting how the nose cone was performed how the deorbiting was executed at the entrance was phenomenal. We had Riley aboard a test dummy and that will give us a lot of important data for accelerations during climb. phase and then the entry phase under the parachutes and then the landing, so we will collect that data and see that, you know, over the next few weeks we will do post-flight reviews, in fact, next week we will have one for the landing vehicle. launch in the ground segment at KSC we will begin to review it and then we will do reviews with SpaceX on the orbit mission this flight really prepares us well for this moment the same vehicle that is in the batch of The technical information will arrive in flight on board the vehicle, so one of the first things that will happen is if we go back to KSC and go to the processing area and start renewing for the in-flight abort test, which should be in the summer period in the June period and then do a demonstration of two vehicles at Hawthorne being built for the first manned mission that is in progress and going well;

Work has continued throughout the flight, so it will be a busy year for us. for SpaceX within the onboard flight and June period and then the demonstration later in the year with the first crewed mission. I don't think we've really seen anything on the mission so far and we have to do the data reviews that you know would prevent us from having the crewed mission later this year, that's really good news, nothing really important after that, No, it's a very busy time in our schedule. I would like to continue if you look at the April period, we are preparing for the flight into orbit. test for Boeing that will occur very soon, so our program will transition after this mission and data reviews and to prepare not only for the in-flight abort and demonstration2 but also the in-orbit flight tests, the flight entered for Boeing and that In April, spacecraft 3, which is the Boeing vehicle, will meet at theCommercial Crew processing facilities in Florida and there, in the midst of a series of very critical tests right now in a Null Second, to verify that that is the spacecraft can operate successfully in space and then later this year , we will also have the crewed flight test for Boeing, so if you just look at all the activities and the commercial crew, it is a very busy time in addition to this flight that we did in the last few weeks we did parachute tests for SpaceX and Boeing, so if we look at all the activities to prepare to fly with our crews, it is a very exciting time, so again we congratulate our SpaceX team and all the NASA people across the country. who worked so hard for so many years on this flight, it really sets us up for the rest of the year and it's a super exciting time to be on commercial crew.

Now I'm going to hand it over to hopper, thanks to Tim, on behalf of I would also like to shorten the astronaut and crew office a little bit more because then you have some things that I wanted to say about what he had to say to all of NASA and all of the who were involved in this important milestone. Return human launch and landing capabilities to US soil. I think it's very exciting, but as you can see in the video of the vehicle, the work is still ongoing, the process of recovery procedures is still ongoing and I'm personally very eager to hear how.

I think that's what Ripley feels after she's taken out of her capsule and back to the recovery vehicle in terms of some important takeaways from the crew's perspective. I think one of the things we're really excited about about this dm1. The mission is that for the first time we have seen an Indian test and now we have brought together the people, the hardware and all the processes and procedures and we have been able to see how they all work together and that is very important. about this as we move towards getting people on board the vehicle and as Steve also said, of course we're very interested in seeing the data.

I suspect there will be some lessons learned, some improvements, some changes we will have. Taking advantage of this is part of the testing process in terms of what's in store for the team, so for the entire team, including DM 2 team, Bob and Doug, and team one, Victor Glover and then team backup Kjell Lindgren. We're all going to be following the in-flight abort test very closely, as well as the procedures, the training to prepare for that DM 2 mission. We also have a lot of verification tests and final verification tests that we will all participate in. as well as test subjects for that specifically for Bob and Doug is DM 2, of course, they will start to focus even more on that training for the DM 2 mission that they have after this mission, they have a lot less runway. in front of them so it will start moving, I think much faster for team 1, team Victor and I and even for Chelle as backup, we have a lot of training not only for a dragon but also for For the ISS, our mission does not It's not just getting there and getting back safely, but it's actually doing some work for the ISS program while we're there, which means we have to do all the training to be able to do it. spacewalks and being able to operate the robotic arm and maintain the station and do that critical science that's been going on for over 18 years is pretty amazing, so that's what we have ahead of us.

I guess finally I'd like to just emphasize. that this mission, this incredible week that we've had, is really just a small step in this very methodical development approach that we've been going through, that the program has established, that the company has established so that we can put people aboard these vehicles and take them up and back to the station so again congratulations to the whole team and Kinning thank you hopparoo and almost any conversation you have today with anyone around here will start with a congratulations. So I'll certainly offer mine to Steve Stitch Cathy Leaders: The Business Team Program is a phenomenal effort, it's not easy to do what this program has had to do over the past few years and finally see the product of what it just became. incredible over the last week and our friends at SpaceX Minji already read Matthews, the team, we've been working with them for the better part of a decade doing commercial cargo services and we know that team is all over it.

We're as excited about human spaceflight as we are and their passion shows, it shows every time they launch a vehicle, it shows every time they bring a vehicle home, there's a lot of excitement around it and it's quite energizing for a lot of us. see that guy. of passion is something I'm really going to turn Kenny down for a minute. He'll keep it on the back burner for a bit, but I don't know what they're going to do after this, so I want to make sure I get the chance for just a minute before they go back to it. to be.

I hope they return to recovery operations here shortly. I blend into the background, but a couple of the important pieces that I took away from at least the first guy that spoke, there are two important things, you know, one of them they saw that there was nothing. that happened during the mission that would prevent them from continuing with crewed missions, which is kind of a big indication that you know things are on track and that the commercial crew program can continue as scheduled and play combined. with the fact that he also said that the Dragon crew performed better than they expected, that's a big deal.

I mean, let it be known to think about that for just a minute, but the Dragon crew performed better than they expected, so you know, that means that they scheduled and expected some problems to arise from this test and they could still continue, but It worked better than expected, which gives me a lot of hope that they can actually meet the July deadline for manned missions considering that a lot of people were really skeptical about it, a lot of people thought that we would have this DM 1 mission, that some problems would arise. and that they would bore the flight, but they would have to do it.

I know I can figure out a few things and that raw flights for dm2 might not happen until the fall as this mission seems to have gone off without a hitch and NASA says it worked better than they expected and says there were no problems that you know. , prevent them from continuing. You know that at least there are no major problems of any kind. You know that gives you a very, very good feeling that we could have a crewed mission in July as scheduled, maybe in August, maybe it will be delayed a little bit, but. I'd like to think it'll be much closer to the July period, so you know, some people are talking about October.

The November period looks like they could actually make it to July, maybe August, if there are a couple of little slip-ups and delays, but that's really good news for SpaceX, good news for the commercial crew program, good news for you, American astronauts in general will finally be able to travel from American soil here and then we also have the Boeing program, which is also scheduled to take flights. and we will be flying crewed missions this year as well, so we still have to wait and see how the cst-100 Starliner performs as well because then we will let you know that we will have two vehicles available for us astronauts to ride in, so everyone. right now they're back I'll come back and see what the SpaceX hosts have to say here thanks for those words and now we'll get back to the action we're getting some views okay that's our recovery here dragon. spaceship, the equipment is in place and now we are just waiting for it to exit the recovery ship exactly, so now that the dragon has descended to land in the ocean, the recovery team will follow a series of steps as we have recovered the Dragon spacecraft and we have uploaded it to the recovery ship now, in case you join us, you will quickly be able to see on your screen a live shot of the dragon recovery, the capsule floating in the sea there with the The dragon team working on that recovery operations mission has been going very well so far.

Today the dragons successfully landed in the Atlantic Ocean just a few minutes ago 5:45 a.m. m. Pacific 5:45 a.m. m. so oh my gosh I can't believe how late in the morning it is. Now time flies and about 240 nautical miles from Cape Canaveral, approximately six hours before landing, they autonomously dragged the undocked from the International Space Station, completed a series of exit burns, discarded its trunk section and performed its final burn , the burning of exorbitant. Telefónica, the dragon was under the two parachutes and those were responsible for all that initial deceleration and they also form a tree here and those four main parachutes deployed successfully.

We heard from Benji and also from the teams during the action, but that all came after the dragons successfully recovered. entered the Earth's atmosphere and those parachutes deployed and now, although we are at the final part of the dragon's journey, as very soon they will be lifting it out of the water and putting it on the recovery boat, so again, this is a repetition of repetition. entry and splash that we witnessed live several minutes ago a beautiful shot of those lovely filled parachutes as they are slowing the Dragon capsule towards the Atlantic Ocean yes, it's already been 45 minutes since it happened Wow, it feels like, that was the zone of splash 5:45 a.m. m.

Pacific 8:45 a.m. m., so a little later in the morning there on the east coast, when the dragons splash down again, you have about 200 nautical miles outside of Port Canaveral, if you have been following along with our mission this week you already know that no We have real humans on board, just briefly, our anthropomorphic test device has many sensors placed around the body. I guess it looks like they'll try to extract your vehicle tonight too, yeah. So this is going to give us a lot of really interesting data about the G forces and what details there is no surgery during the shift on the right side and re-entry;

However, as with all steps so far in our demo, our teams will cover one mission. the complete steps of the recovery process as if it were a real manned mission to prepare for our first time with Nesterov and with the NASA astronauts on board. As you saw before, the fast recovery boats went very quickly to the landing point. The main recovery ship quickly followed, which you can see on your screen right now. It's pretty good, so we'll be watching as he arrives to try it. A ship is approaching my Dragon capsule and we will be able to see it coming out of the ocean, it is a beautiful photo, so our recovery team has been carrying out the safety checks that the safety person does after the vehicle splashes down.

He protected himself and as soon as he detected that. was in the water and the team made sure it was safe for her to approach the Dragon spacecraft and then upon immediate detection of the Dragon's autoland, we released all those main parachutes and that just stops them from getting caught in the wind and potentially pull. or drag the spacecraft through the water and those parachutes are also recovered, another of the fast approach ships was assigned the task that immediately after landing, after success, the successful parachute cut dragon would automatically save any of the pyrotechnics that was still present in the vehicle and could also automatically perform a couple of additional miles in the minor system configure the astronauts if they were in four they would remain seated, so Ripley obviously has not gotten up at this time in the boat, but it fell, but the astronauts with the seat belt sign still remain seated and are left in their suits at this point, but the Dragon spacecraft has air conditioning on board that helps maintain temperatures and check the interior of the ship space and the onboard communication system also remains on, so the crew still has two-way communication, as they are just nice. of sitting there in the capsule waiting for the teams to come in and get them on the ship.

If I were an astronaut inside the capsule right now, I would imagine that this point would be like when they are going through a car wash. I know you are safe. You can talk. You can do this very comfortably in your closed environment, but you can't open the door yet. There is a lot of water. Yes, now it will take. It took a little over 10 minutes. recovery to complete their safety checks and they have completed their preparation activities and right now, as we can see, they are making progress on being able to lift the dragon and place it in the recovery container as part of the preparation for this lift.

We saw earlier that a member of her company, what act a member of the recovery team actually finds inThey have to return to Florida. If it was like a crazy medical emergency, they could just go to the nearest place. They needed to get someone, but they also have helicopter capabilities, let's see, Perry says it won't be 30 hours for actual manned missions because they'll only be 25 nautical miles off the coast, he says. Perry goes against 200 for this demo. I think I remember hearing that, actually now that you mention that it's like that, yes, they kept it 200 nautical miles from the coast because the uncertainty with you know that the first time the Dragon crew came back, it's the first time I've done this in the real world, so yeah, good, good information, thanks for reminding me too, but let's take a look, we'll look at some of the highlights here, let me see if I can do it. come up let's see how long it's been here okay then we'll see the first thing we'll see.

This was our first view of the Dragon crew, let's see. I'm going to mute this here so I can talk. but this was the first sight of the Dragon crew returning through the re-entry phase here this is during the entry warm up it is after the blackout period so there is a small blackout period during the peak warm up and plasma build up that is happening around the capsule, so this was after the blackout period. They said they had already received the signal from the crew's dragon at this point, but you can see here the plasma trail coming out of the back of If you see that big bright spot, this is coming from a NASA high-altitude plane that was tracking the crew dragon and getting footage of it when it returned here, we saw this input interface around 8:30am.

Eastern time, and so on. this was about an hour an hour and a half ago the input interface happened this was shortly after the input interface maybe like 10 minutes after the input interface that we actually got this I got this footage and I should probably throw probably how to throw this little play the nickname up there so people don't get confused because this is a repeat of images here, the ego stores in the US got lost when they pulled the dragon out of the water, well we'll wait a minute, we'll get there. I'm going to look at this footage here, we'll jump around a little bit and then we'll show the splashdown parachutes coming back out, but yeah, this was what you can see, the plasma trail gets shorter and shorter as it gets shorter.

It slows down in the atmosphere, it's dissipating all that speed, all that heat, losing speed and he's like crazy trying to get rid of all the energy that was inserted into the capsule during the launch, you know, to get it up he was going to 17,500 miles per hour. at one point it was docked at the station very fast and now it has to come back and basically hit the water at about 15 miles an hour so a lot of speed to bleed there let's see I saw a little bit someone ask a question. Is Ilan financing this?

Is Ilan funding this or NASA or something? This is because this is part of the commercial crew program. This is a collaboration between NASA and SpaceX, but you know NASA is NASA is really the customer they're paying for. Commercial crew program, so they are paying for a lot of the development related to the crew capsule system and even some of the development of the Falcon 9, but the Falcon 9 was already an established platform, here they had to upgrade the Falcon 9. and certify it for commercial crew flights, but yeah, Los Angeles, there's definitely a lot of funding from NASA to launch the crew aboard the Falcon 9 rocket and the Dragon crew, but it's actually SpaceX that's doing the operations, so That's the entire premise behind the commercial crew program.

It was trying to simplify the development process, speed up the development process and reduce the cost, so that if NASA is doing the development and NASA is doing all the construction and everything that we see with the SLS, you have it. In the end, unfortunately, we've seen a lot of delays with SLS and we're seeing the costs go up a lot and that's a good thing, you know NASA as a government agency has to follow a lot of rules as far as bidding out who's going to do it. development who is going to do the subcontracting, they have to coordinate between many different subcontractors because you know you could get one person who develops the engine and one person who develops the thrusters.

Here are our drop parachutes coming out here now that we saw earlier here. I'm going to pause what I was saying here for a second; We'll get back to the commercial crew philosophy in a second, but there's some parachutes that are out now, a capsule that's coming through the atmosphere coming down and then we should see that. I'll see the power grid come out in just a minute, those drugs don't. They will be available for a long time and they are there, let's go. Now there are some color images of the ships below. I believe these are images of the support ships they were capturing.

These and then you will see that the main ones come out here at any second, they are taken out by the parachutes, their capsule comes a little to the sides just because of the place where the parachute connection point is on the side of the capsule, remember the port of docking is on top of the capsules, there we go, the main ones are taken out and deployed and then they are fully inflated and that was just an incredible sight. I love watching those severed main parachutes being pulled out. absolutely fantastic there you go so yeah it's going to drop here in just a second and then we'll fast forward to getting it out and getting it on the ship but yeah what I'm saying with The commercial crew program that you know you have from NASA has so much to it. it's much more complicated to develop it internally with NASA to get all those subcontractors on the same page and bid prices and you know all that kind of stuff it ends up with.

This causes a lot of delays and often times you get cost overruns, so the premise of buying Commercial Crew was that they could contract out the entire process of delivering the crew to low Earth orbit and then basically pay a private company to do it. did. Since we are traditionally in the private sector, it has been much easier and faster to do things because, since SpaceX is the one who coordinates who develops what is in the system, I mean that they have to deliver a certain system to NASA that can do something which you know, meets certain criteria, but as far as who they want to pay or what subcontractors they want to use or whether they're going to do it all in-house, I mean. they can control that process much more easily and accelerate development much faster.

NASA could do it internally, so Commercial Crew will allow these private companies to do it in low Earth orbit, you know. missions up and down to the International Space Station and back, while NASA focuses on those long duration missions that can take people to the Moon and Mars and then they can really focus on those things and let the companies Privately we do something like what becomes our routine space flight, but I hate to use the word routine. I just don't know what other word to use because spaceflight in general is usually not routine just because anything can happen on a spaceflight so once the time comes you start to think that things are routine especially if you are involved in the engineering teams or in Mission Control teams or something like that, the moment you start to think that things are routine, that's when something happens, which is why I hate to use that term, but anyway. this was a rant about commercial crew that someone had mentioned a long time ago in the comments someone mentioned why he did it Jim Bridenstine, the NASA administrator, spoke shortly after the landing someone said well, why did Jim Wright incite not mention SpaceX's starship or BFR, well, SpaceX isn't really interested in the fact that at the time we're going there's a big splashdown event and everything went almost perfectly and then you'll see this, that a Parrish, right in center, lands right on the crew capsule.

I work to get that out of the crew capsule there, but there's lightning right in the crew capsule and then, although it still surprises me, the engineering, the physics, the mathematics and the calculations that had to be done on board, that It's all, I mean, you're just putting it into orbit and docking it and re-entering it, I mean, all of that is crazy, physics and math and everything else, but also physics and math just so the recovery team is at the landing site at the time of landing is crazy and quite surprising to me. Anyway, I don't remember what I was saying a minute ago, but I forgot what I was talking about, but anyway there was our splashdown events and then let's see if we can move a little faster to see if we can get there.

At some point I want to see if we could see the crew, the crew leaving now we can't see there, okay, so okay, let's fast forward to this point, this is where they were actually following the dragon capsule after landing. So you go to the seeker, that's the support ship, it basically backs you up to the crew capsule. There was about an hour difference between landing and hoisting here, so go to the seeker, go to the seeker, back this up, hook up, they have to hook up some support rigging there. to the crew capsule, then they connected here that arm that's on the back that's lifting it up right now it kind of acts forward and backward, so right now it's actuated backwards, it's a hydraulic lift there, like this which right now is like a kind of winch to use the the rope there and the rigging and it's out of the water there and now you'll see that arm as actually the hydraulic arm actually from back to front and then it will be a normal position because it's vertically up, but actually it will.

I'll go past the vertical and act forward to place the Dragon capsule in that little circular ring at the bottom that they call the Dragon's nest and that's where the Dragon capsule sits and ties up for the journey home and here this. Going in, they have to make sure the side hatch is pointing in the right direction so they can get the crew out and the crew can get out onto the ship and not into the ocean, you can see there. a little bit of ocean water that built up in the parachute bay, that's the bay for the main blades, the main parachutes that come out of that bay at the bottom, there and then there's a channel that goes up and around the door to the Connection point. for the parachutes, but then we sit in the dragon nest and that's it, so there's a little repeat of what we saw before, you know, let me know, tell me what you thought of this because I thought it was pretty impressive.

I hope you all thought it was awesome too, but Tripping Fula asked what happened to the trip around the moon. Did anyone pay a few to go around the moon? Yeah, so, you fool, you're talking about that's you, Sokka Misawa. that's going to take, they've paid a lot of money to fly the BFR spacecraft around the Moon on a SpaceX PFR, but that's not related to NASA, I mean, it's purely all SpaceX, it's a private SpaceX flight that they have commissioned for BFR. go around the moon which is not scheduled until I think 2023 is the target date for that so we have a lot of time before you sit on my zawa come out and around the moon we see anyone else do you think we really went to the moon yes, I think they actually went to the moon.

I think if we hadn't gone to the moon, the Russians would have been the first to call us and say hello, mm-hmm, I don't think so. I don't think so because they were very interested in being the first to get there themselves and they would have been the first to call to yell bad if we didn't actually go to the moon along with a host of other reasons why I think. we actually went to the moon, but that's my first reason, yeah, I'm the reason we went to the moon, let's see what they should, they should do it again.

I would love to see us return to the moon. I think, as Elon said, The other day at the press conference that we should have a permanent base on the Moon, you know we should be doing a lot of science on the Moon. It's just hard for Jim Brides. Stein talked about this, but you have to have this sense of purpose of the space program and it's really you know the space program, at least the NASA space program has to be publicly funded and you have to keep the public interested so that the NASA receives those funds and continues to fund them, so it's difficult to convey that sense of purpose and explain to the public why we sent humans to the moon.

I mean, you know, during the Apollo era, it was a lot, it was very easy to do, it was very new, it was like wow, look what we did. what can we do, let's beat the Russians to get there, all that kind of stuff and then once we did it, they said okay, you know, the general public said okay, we did it now what and now let's spend ourthat this was going to be a safe method and that it was much easier and less expensive for SpaceX to go the parachute route. to get certified for manned missions, so they didn't do the booster landings, but I said at the beginning of the program that it would be interesting to know if something happened with the parachutes, would there be some kind of backup?

The software there also runs the super Draco engines to perform a propulsive landing in case something goes wrong. I think not only because there are so many parishes for parachutes on board that there are a lot of redundancies originally they had three parachutes on board but they added a fourth for redundancy even more redundancy so you would think no they don't even have that in place but someone mentioned that earlier this week about that, so Peary Ghostess, thanks for saying my name correctly, so, uh, I'm glad I got it, normally I don't get it, but klephts we got it on the first try, let's see when was it something else before it was over, is it possible that the dragon will ever land on Leno, yeah, so that was it? what we were talking about, no, I don't think we'll see it land on land in the foreseeable future.

I really think they pretty much stopped development on that once they realized it was going to be so difficult to get NASA certified that they pretty much stopped development on that and they're just going to focus on the water landing, that's what they will do for NASA missions and it really doesn't make sense to them. allocating recovery and testing resources and equipment on a land landing when they have to land on water for NASA missions anyway, so probably even if they do private flights, they'll probably stick with water landings , that's how it is. Trip and the fool want to know if they are using a different type of heat shield than the usual heat shield.

I don't believe it. I think it's just that it looks like some kind of ablative heat shield, but I don't necessarily know the exact details on the heat shield specifically, if anyone knows feel free to let us know here in the comments, but I think it's the typical heat shield ablative. I could be wrong on that, but I'm pretty sure that's what's in place. the heat shield um let's just see Shh, I think I have, I think I have two, everyone I hope I didn't miss any comments, exchange, good fat dad gets fit says the Dragon capsule is a minivan for low Earth orbit, essentially you fit in a lot. of people in this and hopefully it will be reliable getting your astronauts into orbit recovering them like taking a family on a family vacation in the minivan okay well I guess that wraps it up for us you know I think we had a good Morning here that the representatives also conclude for the SpaceX DM a mission has now concluded launch successful docking successful

undocking

successful deorbit successful re-entry successful landing successful recovery yes, everything was fine it seems pretty perfect, which is a fantastic green light for the commercial crew to schedule the most The important thing that they will need to consider now are the two important things that they will need to consider that we don't know yet: one, how the vehicle performed during reentry, where there was some type of problem during reentry caused by the type of cowlings on the super engines.

Draco because they are not symmetrical and have an irregular shape. Could they be worried that that might cause some irregularities during the re-entry phase? We don't know, it doesn't seem like anything major happened, but is there something minor that caused severe vibrations or worse? You know, some of your sounds are kind of deafening to astronauts, who knows, no, we don't know. That still, they will have to analyze the re-entry and see what happened there from the appearance, it seemed that everything was fine and then the other thing that they will need to evaluate also is how Ripley performed, what kind of The sounds of the acceleration vibrations of the forces g that Ripley experienced during the climb phase, also during the reentry and splashdown phases, I also have to evaluate all that Ripley and see how everything works, so it is still to be determined, but hey, I'm sure. we'll find out thanks to SpaceX in the next few days here, so yeah, greetings from the Netherlands, oh hello Netherlands, thanks to Tory for making this for everyone and still participating.

Alex, for example, likes the video, yes, definitely, maybe you like the video. subscribe to the channel throw some hearts on the periscope or follow us there if you're watching there too because we had some fun and we have more news coming we have more space flights and our flights coming our weather balloon flights Probably in about a month we'll see our flights in weather balloons faster than I would like because I don't forget it. I'm not sure if we're ready for it, but our weather balloon flights are coming soon, we'll have some of our computers and cameras going to the edge of space and back, and then you'll be able to watch us do our recovery, which is not as high-tech as what SpaceX and s are. doing, but it still has a lot of fun stories and you can see me running through the forest trying to get a Styrofoam box out of a tree that just reached the edge of space and coming back, oh those are the worst, I wish we didn't have those too. too many tree landings this year we had too many left tree landings last year hopefully they're all just open field landings those are the best those are the best okay so that's it subscribe give me like and stay and you'll see some of that coming from us later, yeah, later this year, probably in about a month, so yeah, that's what we're seeing, that's been our morning, that's the end of the DM 1 mission for SpaceX, appears to be almost perfect so far.

As I can tell, I hope that's what they'll report here in the next few days, so that's it. My name is Tory. This is Overlook Horizon. Thank you for joining us here. It was fun. Oh yeah. Tory is throwing her partner's beach ball Solar Probe, yeah. I'm going to throw one of those beach balls. I don't think I have a fence right now, but one of those beach balls we're going to try launching in a weather balloon later this year we'll see. that passes the time and we are going to have a contest and you might win the beach ball that goes to space or the edge of space at least, so stick around, subscribe and see what happens later. year you can see our beach ball that we sent to the edge of space and back and we also have other things planned, we said it, we are going to send all kinds of space things to space, we have some students, some student projects that are going on we have some seeds that are going we have some students when I say as soon as the students experience a couple more things that we have in the works that may happen this year it might not be until next year but we'll see but anyway, yeah , there's a lot going on in our world here too for some weather balloon flights, so there's everyone.

I'll end it here for today. My name is Tori, this is overlooking the horizon. Thanks for joining. We'll see you this morning on the next Spacex stream, probably the next one we do will be the next SpaceX mission, but follow us on the Twitter machine for what's next because whatever we have next for any of our streams on live will be done on the Twitter machine. I just like to say on the Twitter machine. It makes me sound like I'm out of touch but I feel like I know how to use it I know how it works well you take the letters and you push the stent in you press the tweeter button and it comes out in a it comes to you it comes to all of you in your machines from tweeter okay okay that's it we had some fun now it's getting late and we're getting caught up we're getting silly okay thank you all have a good rest of the day happy friday to you and we'll see you on the next broadcast okay Take care everyone, goodbye, see you
