      I really, really want to know what happened with the NASA official broadcast during the launch. An absolute fumble of video angles and directing. Did the director panic? I'd say 75% of the first 20 seconds was almost worthless, and they were showing the crowd when the solid rocket boosters separated.

            @Mik

            From what I gathered from today’s 1 am (EDT) crew interview with Canadian media, Christina Koch also holds the mission’s plumber’s ticket in addition to being a P. Eng (Electrical).

                Impressive. I would hope NASA has precision engineering mastered but still….impressive.

                For those needing context, one of the major milestones between the Earth and the moon is something called a correction burn to precisely get it into the exact track needed, it looks like it was not needed at all after the initial burn near earth.

                    Tomorrow night the crew gets to see a total solar eclipse while watching from the dark side of the moon. No human has ever seen this. What amazing pictures I hope this results in.

                          Loss of signal confirmed. Beautiful words prior to it. Hope to hear from them in about 40 minutes. Really cool to see the crescent Earth in the distance as it “earth set” behind the moon’s horizon. Can’t wait for the HD video and pics that will be uploaded eventually.

                            No doubt about it, this mission has brought us all a level of positive intensity amid everything else that is confronting us with the opposite.

                              Agreed. It’s obvious but still, seeing the earth as a small partially sunlight marble puts things in perspective every time.

                                Exactly. This is what humanity should be focusing on. Remember "ain't gunna study war, no more."

                                Those were the days.

                                    Hahaha yes no kidding! It’s also a bit wild but I guess practical, the cameras on the solar panel that we are watching is just a GoPro feeding its video via WiFi to the capsule, which is then sending us the video. GoPro! WiFi!

                                        I wonder if they were able to capture images of the Apollo 12 and 14 landing sites…?
