Remember that the F9 US avionics are immediately on top of the tank and that ECS likely controls avionics environment more than anything in the trunk itself.

I like the music they have running right now with the highlights. 

I also liked it. Especially like the video (f 9 flight 1 summary). Its pretty cool.

Question: Why is this thread here instead of in the live events section?

I was wondering that too.  My NSF thread-fu is not very strong...Chris, how do you move one of these things?

And the not so subtle (and quite sobering) reminder at the start that in 2011 when the Shuttle retires, for a while Dragon will be the only domestic provider of access to ISS...

Thats better than the original plan (Russia only)

On upcoming Dragon flights they may have a GSE cooling loop hooked up to the radiators in the trunk?

The video loop before the 1st launch wasn't glitchy, either...

Speak for yourself!



What's the use of the "plumbing" plugged into the trunk ?
I was close. :)

ECS, conditioned air

The only thing spacex will provide to the ISS is cargo for right now.
In two or three years mabe people, when they man rate the Falcon 9
 and Dragon.

And down-mass. Much more than you can fit in a Soyuz!
