Why does everything need commenting on these days?Blimey I am sounding like an old codger today.I mean, why are you on this forum? You want to be able to talk to other people about what you're talking about. It's the same thing. BTW in Asia they have comments literally scroll across their videos on top of the videos as on-screen text in China and Japan when you write a comment.

I think the time line is interesting.2010. First Dragon test launched on first F9 2012 Cargo deliveries start to be berthed at ISS2019 First docking of crew rated Dragon to ISS7 years from first arrival of a Dragon at ISS.I'd love to know where most of that time went. Specifically who raised the lions share of the complaints, issues and questions. My guess is either ASAP or the Russians, for different reasons. ASAP couldn't believe an aerospace company that didn't exist during Mercury, Gemini, Apollo or Shuttle could be any good and the Russians because they know their era of charge-whatever-they-like is coming to an end. TBH I doubted if NASA would give SX the first go at launching to the ISS, but they did. Congratulations to all at SX for their perseverance.
Ground controllers now turning on the fans to mix the air between the two spacecrafts and to allow the air inside the spacecraft to pass through the filtration system of ISS in order to make sure no foreign objects or debris could harm the crew members during activities inside VV.
How does the thrust of D2's SuperDracos compare to the engines on the Progress docked at the opposite end?

I wonder how long before the microgravity indicator ends up stuck somewhere with duct tape.
