SpaceX Crew2 launch live

Usually somebody catches these before me. I wish them luck and a safe trip.


From the description.

At 5:49 a.m. EDT (9:49 UTC), the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur of NASA, Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency, and Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency will join the station's crew, for a mission of approximately six months.   This will be the first launch through our Commercial Crew Program to fly two international partner astronauts, and the first reuse of a Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket for a crew mission.

Is this a mission to the iss?

Is this a mission to the iss?

Yep. Synching up over the next 23 hours or so.

Everything seemed to go perfectly. Still waiting on the landing.

I noticed some object at just after T 10:00 in the background. Just after phase 2 separation a small object flies between it and the capsule. I'm interested in hearing if anybody knows what they were. I was streaming on my TV but the quality wasn't great.

Ok, it's going to the ISS. Saw the video. Thanks For this👍

a reply to: Ksihkehe

Yeah, i saw the object also. I assumed it is space debris from an old satellite or something like that. Maybe it's something else....?

a reply to: lostbook

I assumed the one in the distance was space junk or a satellite, but the object after 2nd stage separation I was thinking is something from the craft itself.

Still waiting to see 10:00

Happens when the booster lands.

Ahh... sorry nothing at 10 mins... this is all i got😕

Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed the launch.

I was using the time after launch, not sure what the video times were. The picture you posted is the first and it seems ice fits? It's not visible at the time, but the sun is coming around so that would explain why it was so bright.

The next object floats from right to left between the capsule and the second stage as it drops away shortly after separation. I'm on my phone or I'd try to capture a good screen shot. It looked squarish, floating kinda lazy like, but appeared to be matching the forward speed of the camera.

I'm waiting for the day you can interact with these missions via an Occulus or some other form of VR. Imagine sitting there, live, during an actual launch with a VR headset on, and maybe even in some kind of simulation chamber that can simulate vibrations and noise. That might motivate me to spend the money on a VR setup.

Ok I'll look again..
The time I got is thankfully captured at the bottom of the YT video. Thats the timer I'm using. That piece of ice I saw just ZZZRRRRRWWWWOOOOOOOOOOPED into existence. Pretty cool.

Gotta rewatch.

Thanks for posting btw🤗

Ok, so I set the video to play at the lowest possible speed.(it's bad a$$) I re re re playing the separation. Lots of ice AND! if I had played it slower, I would have missed the "O" ring Cowling/blowing off the rocket...


When you rewatch it, play it extra ssssslllloooooooooooooooooooow.

a reply to: Bigburgh

Okay, I found it. Just after 4:30:55.

Still not sure what it is.

I can imagine some serious motion sickness, but I would have to give it a shot as it sounds amazing.

Got it!!!!

Good eyes!!!
It's debris (piece of the rocket❓❔) 😀🤔🤔

a reply to: Ksihkehe

It's a hockey puck. You can see it spinning. Goes between main booster and capsule.

a reply to: Ksihkehe

Man I wish I had checked the threads before I just posted the footage I captured of it going up from a 100 miles away view point. Looking at the video at the link I saw other things besides just the rocket going up. Im assuming its one of the boosters flying around doing a crazy dance. At least I hope thats what it was!

This video is just 2:10 long and it's snips of the best out of the footage I took



Note MODs: You can take down my thread on this if you wish.

Star and flag for you🤗

Edit: let's see if we can fix that.

Looking forward to humans on Mars

Loving the fancy spacesuits. so 1980's sci-fi.
