Así se acopló la capsula del #CrewDragon a la #ISS con los astronautas @SpaceX de Crew-2 a las 5:08 am ET, un día después del lanzamiento. #LaunchAmerica 
Aquí la repetición del acoplamiento 👇
Y les dejo unas fotos del #CrewDragon llegando y acoplándose a #ISS un día después del #LaunchAmerica disfrútenlas 🙌🏼
We are making a lot of good progress with @SpaceX on engine testing to better understand the unexpected behavior observed during a recent non-NASA launch. (1/5)
It’s too early to report findings at this point, as @SpaceX continues testing to validate what’s believed to be the most credible cause. (2/5)
Based on our current analysis, @SpaceX is replacing one Merlin engine on the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich launch vehicle and one engine for Crew-1 rocket that displayed similar early-start behavior during testing. (3/5)
I’m with you bro
Tired of the Corrupt News as they carry water for the Communist Socialist Progressive Regressive Democrat Party! Spent Sat & Sunday watching NASA channel to celebrate USA achievements didn’t WATCH ANY NEWS TO NOT RUIN THE GOOD FEELINGS I HAD JUST WANTED TO SAVOR #LaunchAmerica

As we prepare to welcome @SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft back to planet Earth, follow this thread to learn about the timeline of events for bringing @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug home. 🌎🔙🐲🛰️
HATCH CLOSURE: The hatch closes on the Dragon-side to get the spacecraft sealed up and ready for departure.
SPACE STATION HATCH CLOSURE: International @Space_Station commander @Astro_SEAL closes the hatch on our orbiting laboratory, creating an area between the spacecraft and station known as 'the vestibule'.
I fucking love rockets. Let me be clear. I love science and space and engineering and I've woken up at all hours to watch random launches over the years.
But I didn't watch yesterday's launch live, I couldn't. I was here, peacefully protesting the unlawful death of #GeorgeFloyd

Because it's honestly not the time to be celebrating an American launch for the 1st time in 9 years when our black brothers and sisters have been getting murdered for so much longer than that.

When I ride Cleveland's public transit, I'm frequently the only white (adjacent) person on board. And 99% of the time, I'm the only one who doesn't get her ticket checked. I've watched countless kids, teens, and adults get arrested simply because they couldn't pay the $2 ticket
Je sais pas si c'est la fatigue qui parle, mais des fois, c'est compliqué lors de directs impliquant autant de politique que #LaunchAmerica de rester neutre. Particulièrement depuis quelques jours. Et bien qu'on se contente de dire à l'antenne "la culture US est différente" 1/n
ça n'excuse en rien la politique menée par l'administration américaine, particulièrement ces dernières années. On pourrait se dire "ouais mais tu commentes du spatial, donc osef", sauf que non, c'est extrêmement lié, et à l'approche des présidentielles, ça l'est encore plus 2/n
On voit les républicains célébrer la grandeur de leur Amérique tandis qu'une capsule américaine avec à bord des américains s'élance du sol américain, tandis qu'une partie de leurs citoyens souffre énormément, et ce depuis beaucoup trop longtemps. 3/n
SpaceX: En 1 de mis grupos dijeron:
Es solo otro lanzamiento de un cohete+!
Equivocado!
Es el primer cohete construido x una empresa privada, con patentes propias.
Y que hace de especial este cohete?
Entre otras cosas q se recicla.⬇️

El cohete, se divide en varias partes.
La primera, el propulsor que está llena de combustible y dá el 1er. impulso al despegar ya deja de ser una basura como en cohetes anteriores, se desprende y vuelve a aterrizar, se imaginan el ahorro de dinero?
Además menos basura⬇️ #SpaceX

Acá podemos ver desde la cámara del propulsor el aterrizaje en la base marina, es tan preciso que en vez de hacerlo en un desierto lo hacen en esta plataforma marina, en el centro mismo.
El propulsor ahora es reutilizable. logrando así bajar los costos de las misiones. #SpaceX

I’m not surprised he managed to ruin something as important and momentous as #LaunchAmerica by turning an opportunity to talk about how inspiring it is to see the dawn of commercial crewed space flight into a knuckle-dragging stump speech full of red meat for angry bigots.
Trump and his ilk are inspired by nothing outside of brute force and performative cruelty and belligerence. At the start of human civilization, their ancestors sat at the back of the cave and took great delight in mocking hunters with new spears and artists painting the walls.
Humanity will never succeed because of them. But we will succeed despite them. No matter how much the bigots, xenophobes, and reactionaries try to drag us down, like rotting albatrosses around our necks, we will push forward as always. Per ardua ad astra is truly today’s motto.
El lanzamiento de astronautas de la #NASA en la nave espacial de #SpaceX propiedad de Elon Musk (Paypal), me da pie para explicar el origen militar de Silicon Valley, y la relación de todas las plataformas digitales con la inteligencia militar para controlarnos. #LaunchAmerica
Elon Musk y Peter Thiel fueron los principales fundadores de Paypal que tras su venta a EBay pasaron a ser inversores (Paypal Mafia) y controlar nuevas empresas tecnológicas como Facebook, Youtube, Linkedin, Google, Twitter y sobre todo Palantir, creada por Thiel con un objetivo.
Palantir (Peter Thiel) fue diseñada para obtener todos los datos posibles en la red y plataformas sociales para espiar a la población con un objetivo geopolítico y de seguridad orientado a las necesidades de la CIA que fue su primer cliente.

Reminder, you're watching the first rocket with humans on it leave the US in nearly a decade.
Perhaps more importantly, this is the first private spacecraft to carry humans to orbit - EVER.

@tracedominguez It will take Bob and Doug 19 hours to rendezvous with the ISS. There are a number of Crew Dragon system checks Bob & Doug will run through during this time.

Weather is looking good and they already moved forward with propellant loading and arming the launch abort system.

At this point if there's any type of delay, the launch will be scrubbed due to the instantaneous launch window.
1/ UPDATE - The A. Max Brewer bridge in Titusville will be OPEN to pedestrians during this weekend’s #SpaceX launch attempt. This photo by @Florida_Today photographer Tim Shortt shows the crowds after Wednesday’s scrubbed launch attempt (cont.) #News6 #LaunchAmerica
2/ Yesterday a @TitusvillePD lieutenant acknowledged spectators were not practicing social distancing. The agency indicated it was considering a proposal to keep pedestrians off the bridge this weekend. #News6
3/ Today @TitusvillePD announced the bridge would be closed to vehicles one hour after launch to “allow pedestrians to cross safely”. There was no mention of closing the bridge to spectators. #news6

Reports that weather is trending in the right direction for today's launch.
WHO ELSE IS SUPER EXCITED AND NERVOUS RIGHT NOW
T-35 minutes - propellant load starts now!

it's a ROLLER COASTER of emotions today my friends.
If launch gets delayed today, they will try again on May 30th

Reminder, the launch window today is instantaneous.
if - for any reason - there's a delay, the launch will get pushed to May 30th.

Έχουν περάσει τόσα χρόνια από την τελευταία φορά που εκτοξεύθηκε επανδρωμένο διαστημικό σκάφος από το έδαφος των ΗΠΑ που η αντίθεση ακόμα και σε επίπεδο αισθητικής είναι εντυπωσιακή. #LaunchAmerica #SpaceXDragon
Ακόμα πιο εντυπωσιακή η αλλαγή στο εσωτερικό (και η ποιότητα των διαθέσιμων καμερών). Στην αριστερά φωτογραφία video από το cockpit του αδικοχαμένου Columbia το 2003. #LaunchAmerica #SpaceXDragon

Anyone seen the balloon soundings for Cape Canaveral?
So they just announced today's sounding balloons showed clean air all the way up. But the range is still RED due to weather. I'll be surprised if they fuel but I was also surprised they launched the Challenger Popsicle.
They have one item on the check list in addition to the weather. They are set to fuel around the top of the hour. For me the easy way to make the decision is, would you hesitate for a second if it was unmanned? If you would, then scrub it.
Why is today's launch such a big deal?
🚀It's the first launch to the ISS from US soil in nearly a decade
🚀It's the first crewed launch to orbit from a private spacecraft

Why did it take so long to get here?
Mix of "space is hard" program delays - but also, this program wasn't funded properly in the beginning. Not everyone thought this was a great idea initially.

The shuttle was retired in 2011 - what did we do in the meantime?
We paid the Russians to shuttle our Astronauts to/from the ISS. The cost per seat on a Soyuz today is around $86 Million.
Cost per seat on Crew Dragon is ~$55 Million

Communication checks ✅✅✅
Hatch closed ✅✅, leak check underway
THERE IS A ROCKET LAUNCH TODAY SENDING ASTRONAUTS TO THE @Space_Station AND IM SO EXCITED IM COUNTING DOWN THE MINUTES!!!!!!!!
COVERAGE IS BEGINNING ON NASA TV
omg NASA TV’s opening coverage started by flashing Sally Ride’s name across the screen and launched me into immediate tears
Què maravilla. No me lo pierdo esta noche, he puesto ya la alarma.
Ademàs, a los 20 minutos del lanzamiento, parece que podrè verlos pasar encima de mi casa. 🤯
