The voice over was still counting down when they cut to a feed of the rocket well off the platform & angling away. That's all right. NASA.gov did the same thing. Later, the roles reversed with CNN lagging by about 15 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile it's all basic research. Eventually there may be things that can be made in orbit such as metal foam that can prove to be very useful.

maddmaxx ★ Posted May 31, 2020 Share #55 Posted May 31, 2020 NASA.gov has already got some interesting things going on. One was an interesting tour inside the Dragon with descriptions of the launch conditions and living conditions aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved a news "fill in air time" during the pre-launch when they interviewed a member in the newly created Space Force. The reporter actually asked the question if they would like to be known as the Space Cadets. By the puzzled expression of the interviewee (enlisted rank) he wasn't anticipating the question and after briefly thinking about it replies, "I hope so."
