SpaceX's Crew Dragon finally launched about 15 minutes ago.


You should be able to see the ISS at around 22:10 tonight, with the SpaceX following shortly after it at around 22:15, look west, low on the horizon & it will cross to the south east, passing beneath the moon.

Clearly all faked though. Video suddenly cutting out as the big long bit supposedly landed back on a ship?! :emoticon-0126-nerd:

I mean, they obviously lost ship to shore Comms with the recovery ship. It happened a couple of times earlier on the feed. ****ing awful timing, but not everything has to be a conspiracy...

Unless it blew up and/or crashed <laugh>

I imagine NASA will just release the footage if people ask enough. As long as it didn't blow up or crash.




EDIT: Done some sciencing - it seems that the rocket plume ionizes the air and scrambles the signal. It happens every time. They release the footage a few hours later whether it is successful or not.

I decided to continue my reply because there's bound to be at least one person on here seriously questioning it.

Anyway I was too busy marvelling at the fish eye cameras they’re using to hide the fact that the earth is flat :emoticon-0127-lipss
