Re: Space X astronauts are returning to earth
I'm watching now. All you can see is a bunch of people behind computers. Earlier you could see the astronauts but not now.

i wondered if they have a very high flying plane with super cameras on board to film the re-entry.
Would be good to keep an external camera on the capsule broadcasting.

Re: Space X astronauts are returning to earth
The BBC said they were coming back in the first private taxi service for astronauts. Money up front or on the meter?

Apparently there is a plane with infra red cameras in the air to capture re-entry.
First images coming through.
The capsule hit the atmosphere at 17,500 mph, at a temp of 3,500 degs F and that caused a six minute drop in signal.
I lose signal on my phone when I drive into my village.

That was eye opening

Splashdown.
That was quite emotional.
The technology and thought involved is unbelievable.

Can we really believe they managed this in 1969 with 50 years less tech?

Went to a lecture once at NASA with a former astronaut. He said Apollo 11 had the computer power of a Spectrum. Astonishing really.

They allegedly managed much more with less computing power than a 5 yr old iPhone! Makes you wonder!

I suppose that depends on what the new tech actually does. There were cars in 1969 that had 50 years less tech.

Yeah I was going to say this. They had rockets, solar panels, radios, etc. The massive difference is computers, so back then they just used lots of clever people's brains to work stuff out.
