Neat surprise, the poster in the elevator signed by a bunch of ground crew members and hung up as a good luck - this is the first time they've seen that poster!
Plus, the Crew 6 license plates - a nice nod to them!
Crew Dragon 6 number plate.
And, coming out of the O&C building!
Crew have exited the building.
Saying "see you later!" to family. Much akin to the Apollo days, definite change back from the STS era!
Ready for Crew Arrival to the pad! Administrator Bill Nelson in the crowd to say well wishes to this crew:
Camera in the lead Tesla - this will provide one heck of a view when we get to the pad!
SpaceX Mission Control Audio is live (video id ACbis3roPPI):
Making the right turn to pass the VAB as well as the NASA Press Site:
Tesla fleet have entered the pad gate and are heading up!
Looks like a skyscraper in New York with a rocket attached. Too cool!
Announcement on the net - crew have arrived at the pad!
Ken Bowersox:
Awesome cadence we've gotten into, able to launch every 6 months! This has become normal, launching every three months, now six months or once a year. Will be even better as we get into Mars missions.
Great to see how our commercial partners are stepping up and taking more and more of the things NASA used to do, which frees NASA up to continue to develop for more of Commercial Crews to do. Launch their own crews to their own stations, and so much more.
Have another crew rotation later in the year, and we have Starliner coming up later as well, so that is two providers - we are looking forward to all of it!
Noting only a 5% chance of a violation due to weather constraints in the launch corridor, so all is looking good for the range tonight!
CDR Bowen and PLT Woody getting as good of a view as they can, of their ride to orbit!
