Is there any comm net-only stream for the Crew Dragon mission?Getting tired of this redundant commentary that lacks the technical engagement I was used to during the space shuttle program.
Around the time of the manual piloting test near station, I heard the commentators on the SpaceX webcast say that the actual piloting was very close to the sim piloting; control in X and Z axis nice and tight, Y just a little sloppy just like sim.However, this same commentator said that the lift off experience was not the same as expected. Does anyone know what the lift off experience was and how it varied from the sim?

But I haven't been able to find any detail. Will be very interesting to learn.

Of course, simulators could not prepare then for the moving sensations.
Hatch opening still scheduled for 12:45 PM?
Anyone know what type of tablets they are using on their leg pouches? Heard report of 66 and 32 charge on them.
