    Yeah, but Space Force just dropped on Netflix, so there’s that.

    I watched the first two eps so far. Some very funny bits, some misses. John Malkovich is great.

    That cockpit view looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. A good sci-fi movie.

    Fucking CNN cut to Launch America at 20 seconds. There was a time delay so all we say was “20” and then the rocket was in the air.

    I know we can still re-watch it inline, but it ain’t the same.

    Yeah, I was watching on the National Geographic Channel, which was mirroring the ABC feed I think. They talked up the "big selling point" of the rocket returning and landing itself. The feed cut out, so you saw an empty landing pad, and suddenly the rocket was there.

    Happened the last couple of launches where they land on that ship. You'd think they would figure out a way to get better video on that but I guess not. Maybe no camera could survive the force of the rocket landing.

    That actually happened on the SpaceX feed, too.

    Docking with ISS at like 10:30 tomorrow morning.

    Its too bad because some of the best footage is when they show the boosters landing themselves.

    About to dock. Pretty cool views. Dragon looks like it has one eye and it's blinking.
