The unmanned ship launched today, other than a passenger named "Mannequin Skywalker."

Go to about 51:00

About 58:00 to watch the landing

I like that camera shot that looked like it was coming from some kind of drone just after takeoff and just before landing

I assume it is a drone because it was so close, I don't think they would fly a person that close

[Mik]

That was awesome. Especially the booster coming down.

Axshually, it looks like SpaceX does a better (more accurate) landing.

I doubt that the landing today would have been good enough to land on one of SpaceX's drone ships.

Very cool. Yeah that drone shot during the landing (and takeoff) almost looked fake! So good.

The interior of the capsule:

pretty cushy.

Is it just me, or does that thing look like a knob?

[Mik]

It's just you. Really.

[Doctor Phibes]

Sorry, I should have said 'Is it just me or does that thing look like my knob?'.

[Mik]

Still just you.

[Doctor Phibes]

Apparently not! (Which I must admit is a bit of a relief. Er, bad choice of word)

That is a huge amount of window area, the views will be great.

10 years from now, Bezos and Musk are going to be in a Space War.
