Falcon 9 booster has landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship!
LIVE! NASA/SpaceX 'commercial crew' lanceert twee makkers POGING 2 #LaunchAmerica
Ondertussen óók in nog steeds het beste land ter wereld.
Jongens, we zitten er alweer klaar voor. De weersvoorspelling is eigenlijk weer even ongunstig als vorige keer, dus benieuwd is wat we zijn. Voorpret met pakken, helmen, mannen en raketten deden we hier, doen alsof we weten waar we het over hebben deden we vorige keer al, dus we maken ditmaal niet heel veel woorden vuil aan #LaunchAmerica. Onderstaand de mooiste fragmenten uit de beste Tesla-reclame ooit, bovenstaand de countdown! De toekomst is nu. Lancering staat gepland voor 21:22 Nederlandse tijd. Vanavond helaas wel moeilijk te zien vanuit Nederland.
T-44: 70% kans op lancering. NASA zegt Go.
T-40 seconden: "Go for launch, let's light this candle"
T-0: LIFT OFF!!!!
T+ 6 minuten: Falcon 9 valt richting drone-schip *Ofcourse I still Love You
*T+ 9:34 minuten: Falcon 9 landt verticaal op drone-schip, alsof het niets is
Crew Dragon has separated from Falcon 9’s second stage and is on its way to the International Space Station with @Astro_Behnken and @AstroDoug! Autonomous docking at the @Space_Station will occur at ~10:30 a.m. EDT tomorrow, May 31
We have liftoff. History is made as @NASA_Astronauts launch from @NASAKennedy for the first time in nine years on the @SpaceX Crew Dragon:
LIFTOFF! The moment SpaceX launched astronauts for the first time, as the Falcon 9 rocket roared off the launchpad here at Kennedy Space Center and sent NASA’s Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on their way to orbit.
President Trump and @VP @Mike_Pence watch the NASA/SpaceX crew dragon launch.
Vehicle is supersonic. #LaunchAmerica

Crew Dragon’s hatch is closed, securing @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug in the spacecraft ahead of liftoff
.@AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug are buckled into Crew Dragon and are testing to make sure their communication channels are working inside the spacecraft. #LaunchAmerica
First up in the Crew Dragon: @Astro_Doug, the spacecraft commander for the #LaunchAmerica mission. And then, @AstroBehnken, joint operations commander.
Our @NASA_Astronauts are standing right next to their ride to space. #LaunchAmerica
Our #LaunchAmerica crew is approaching the elevator that will lift them 255 feet (78 meters) up to the top of the Falcon 9 rocket.
There go your astronauts! 👨🚀 @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug have arrived at Launch Complex 39A and are preparing to ascend the launch tower to the Crew Dragon spacecraft: nasa.gov/live

"Let's light this candle!" - @AstroBehnken's son sends farewell #LaunchAmerica wishes to his father — who is headed to space.
"This is just one of those moments where everyone in this country is coming together to wish them well, to get them to space safely." @Astro_Flow watches as @NASA_Astronauts @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug get closer and closer to #LaunchAmerica.
.@AstroBehnken waves from the back seat of a Tesla Model X during the nine-mile trek to Launch Pad 39A:
"We always think about the technology and the rockets, but this is what it's all about. The families coming together." @Astro_Flow comments on this touching moment as the families of @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug say goodbye as they depart for the Launch Pad:
Our crew is ready. Let's do this. #LaunchAmerica
"They're getting ready, they're focused, they've had breakfast...it's getting real again." @Astro_Flow on where @AstroBehnken and Astro_Doug are at in their mission timeline:
lol
Falcon/Dragon are designed to withstand multiple lightning strikes, but we don’t think it would be wise to take this risk
