Crew 10 Launch

[Sneakers]

Don’t they have a ship waiting somewhere nearby?

They keep doing sweeps around the capsule and I don’t see anything on the horizon.

They just called out for "capsule lift", so I guess they're getting a chopper ride to someplace else.

Just saw a large landing pad nearby. Must be home.

So of course the recovery ship can't be too close when they splash down. So if you look at the YouTube feed right now, the recovery ship is getting close to picking it up. They'll take the astronauts off and the helicopter will come in and take them off of the ship and back to Kennedy

Dolphins! What a nice sight and welcome home.

 

[TPD]

There are even dolphins there to welcome them home - I’m sure Trump and Musk ordered those dolphins to show up.

 

[Ken King]

Dolphins swimming all around it, so cool!

 

[RoseRed]

I love the dolphins!

Watching the clearing process and the hoisting up onto the ship is pretty cool.

Looks like the docking was worse than the splash down.

Someone needs to tell the captain to turn the boat so the sun is not in the camera!

 

[Sneakers]

Key? I thought YOU had the key!

 

[vraiblonde]

Exciting!

Musta been something different than what I watched, could see the recovery ship within minutes of splashdown. I watched via utube and I believe it was a SpaceX show.

Sure it isn't going to be Johnson?

I saw it too.

I've been watching the NASA YT because everyone else I watched had the damn YT commercials cutting in.

Not sure if this was NASA or SpaceX feed but there were no ads cutting in...

You are right.

Same on FOX.

Those astronauts have some patience. They were strapped in 2 hours before liftoff, all that time in travel, more waiting for the hatch opening...

Can you imagine getting an itch on your ass an hour after being seated?

Yup, strapped into the back of COD, waiting for launch, had it delayed. Not only an itch, but suddenly gotta pee.
