On Friday, August 8 at 11:17 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched Axiom Space's Ax-1 mission, Dragon's fifth human spaceflight to the International Space Station, from historic Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage landed on the droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Axiom Space's Ax-1 mission is the first all-private human spaceflight mission to the International Space Station. The Ax-1 crew will participate in educational outreach and conduct innovative research experiments while on the orbiting laboratory.
Live webcast coverage will resume approximately two hours before docking, which is targeted for 7:45 a.m. ET (11:45 UTC) on Saturday, April 9.
2:00:22 Rare(kinda) footage of the dragon firing animation on crew control screen.
2:02:20 That's why they said there's no "Stand still" in space. You see, the control center and the ISS are having that conversation trying to trouble shot things and in the meantime dragon in there firing its trusters every few seconds to adjust positioning. Imagine have to calculate all the fuel margins for that.
2:04:00 Houston-Station: Have you tried turning off and on again?
2:05:22 Someone people had a pretty stressful saturday.
2:29:00 Greater advertising was never invented.
4:35:10 If I had 1 nickel for every astronaut that hit his head on the station's hatch, I'll have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice.
4:38:00 Veteran astronauts have the habit of being overly serious, not smiling for pretty much anything. Well, that grim is the perfect measure of how happy MLA is for being back to his natural habitat.
5:05:12 Family photo time!

Sooner or later docking will be easy as pie, they just need to make the iss bigger, with bigger airlock docking hangars, and more earth to space vehicle's.
@kraken-z1p Says:
Please you people make a capital class ship, mothership, something huge.

ISS is soon to retire .. what's next for SpaceX ? Building the next international space station?
@EvilSnipa Says:
Id like to hear the sounds from inside the capsule from launch to docking.
Congratulations to the SpaceX Ax-1 Crew and massive respect to SpaceX for being Highly Successful in this extremely hard mission. SpaceX very much knows what they are doing, so keep doing what you are doing because nothing is stopping SpaceX from accomplishing success. Keep it up.

WoW really like God epic!
@anandsriramanarayanan8029 Says:
I just watched the Netflix documentary about docking. This is “one” of the other riskiest portion as well compared to everything else that could go wrong. Is it something that “Tesla” could reduce complications by implementing the Tesla charging arm “https://youtu.be/uMM0lRfX6YI” maybe a few of them where the pod is being pulled into docking and trying to reduce the risk involved?

Reminds me so much of 2001: A Space Odyssey. All it needs is the music.

Sigh...we are headed to a bad place. Luckily the UVC is coming. Get your sun screen and popcorn. Everyone's worldviews will implode in the next 3-7 years.
@l0000worms Says:
The dragon cockpit looked straight out of sci fi, the astronaut holding herself in place with her leg with the strapped iPad looks straight out of cowboy bebop, all this communication and cooperation is so inspiring..what an insane amount of stuff to see for the first time ever in just a few hours.
@rocketbros1990 Says:
When is the NROL 85? Everyone is saying it’s 6:13 AM but they have their livestream scheduled 2 hours later when it is the launch hour.

Ich habe Mal eine Frage zur Mond Mission 🌙.
Ich verstehe immer noch nicht warum wir keine
Weltraumwerft im erdorbit bauen und dort alles zusammen Bauen. Dort könnte man ein Transitschiff bauen. Die Versorgung der Werft kann SpaceX stellen mit seinen Raketen ist es wieso Marktführer.

We would like to know the star links contact number so we could inquire about your products and services... We tried to browse and check starlinks web page but couldnt find the email, contact number and office address of star link...

It looks like its some big fun party of astronauts, but the guys who have been there for months look like they are not happy with the newbs. Also, the one rich guy looks like his blood pressure is about to cause him to have a medical event. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
