They are supposed to land back with retrothrusters, also?

How long will it take to get to ISS?
What will the astronauts do at ISS for the time they are there? Anyone else there right now?

That's not unusual, big tech compensation outstrips comp at aerospace/manufacturing even for CompSci related roles.
I’d imagine they’ll use modern ones./s
Reproted.
They get there tomorrow.
They do experiments and will join the other 3 currently there.
@BD about to launch if you're around
There we go!
fecking flatearthers....
Good stuff, great to see.
Dragon makes orbit, first stage lands! Fingers crossed it all goes this smoothly.
I guess so. Though I always was under impression that SpaceX (and Tesla too) have salaries on par with Google and co. when it comes to CompSci roles.
From that link, the difference was quite high.
That feed cutting out just as it was landing will have set many a conspiracy theorist off
Get in!!
Some spectacle though eh?
Those speeds they were going at were insane
Who else is watching Homer Simpson in Space after this?
Just said the same thing out loud to my cat.
Pretty fecking amazing, that whole part of the launch. Would have loved to see it.
The Earth looks flat to me.
That was cool
Got a sudden urge to reinstall Kerbal Space Programme...
Probably the first stage landing interfered with the satellite signal.
That was really cool. Where’s Elon?
Hearing the nasa administrator lick Trump's balls live on tv is nauseating.
Not a fan of Musk but he named a few of his ships in honour of my favourite Sci Fi writer (Iain M Banks) so I'm conflicted about him.
I missed it! Thanks though.Is this guy Jim a GOP politician, or a professional astronaut?
First guy to lead the agency who is a politician and not a former astronaut.
Still, he pulled this off.
Former GOP representative.
Oh God. What the feck is wrong with America? Why everything is so politicized and why for positions which should be occupied from professionals (technocrats), they put politicians.
Shit looking space suits , prefer Buzz Lightyears
Swear I just saw it go over. Really bright light from the south, then a very fast moving flight with a massive trail behind it flying from south to east direction in the sky?
The best episode ever IMO
If it was just before you posted, probably not as it was coasting unpowered at that point.
Could just be a plane but seems a big coincidence that there was an incredibly bright circle of light from that direction too? Was moving very fast. Didn’t get the light on vid.
The feed kept cutting out at the big moments, like the stage landing.
Someone I'm watching with has gone off all conspiracy, it's brilliant

Looks like a plane to me, but to be honest I haven't seen one of those in months so you never know! See if any other vids pop up.
You'd think given how much CGI used for the rest of the missions, they'd have it ready for big stuff like landing as well.The feed kept cutting out at the big moments, like the stage landing.
