Thanks for posting that, Nikola. I just finished watching the NASA TV coverage on C-SPAN. The commentary was completely painful to listen to on both C-SPAN and the Discovery Channel. So dumbed down since the Apollo days or even the Shuttle flights. Really wish there was some way you could only tune in to the air-to-ground loop between Mission Control and the spacecraft minus the inane commentary. Speaking of Apollo, Demo-2 is the first water landing, a.k.a., splashdown of a manned u.s. spacecraft in 45 years, during the Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975.

Elon Musk will have to hire private security or have the coast guard out there next time.

PS I believe the radio frequencies that Nasa uses for voice communication with it's LEO manned spacecraft and for recovery operations are around 400 Mhz. Last edited by T.Garrett; August 4th, 2020 at 12:47 AM. |

SpaceX may fire one of its Starship prototypes today. They aborted the test yesterday and again this morning, but it looks like they may try again soon today. If it goes it will only go 150 meters {about 500 feet} but his Starship will, if Musk has his way, will be the true spaceship of the future.
Go here: Mike

Here's a video containing more views of the Starship launch, as well as more info about the Crew Dragon landing.
After the splashdown of Apollo 8, someone sent NASA a telegram stating, "Thank you, Apollo 8. You saved 1968." Here I would like to say, "Thank you, Elon Musk, you saved 2020."
