SpaceX's mission control looks a bit less flash than NASA's Smile

watching the docking had me fascinated, there travelling at over 17,000 mph yet theres no sense of speed
and watching people work in zero gravity is way cool

bet they break a lot of things when they get home
and forget that things don't float when you let them go on earth
seeing them just let go of a camera to see if float Cool

I honestly snotted on my keyboard when I read that and immediately imagined a wife sat up in a blood soaked bed, on the phone to the paramedics while Mr. Spaceman shrieked about his snapped off todger. Oh my stars. Laughing

Fair play to red bull, as a company they market their selves so well, really interesting stuff they do. This is mental.

The last thing I heard him saying was that the heating in his boots is not working.

I don't know if this will happen today.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
