Cool photo. Do you know who took it?

After the launch, a portion of the celebration moved to the SpaceX headquarters roof, where Dragon was visible three hours after launch. It was pretty epic.

I'm not sure if it'll be webcast and/or on NASA TV, but early tomorrow morning we start the C2 demo phase of the mission, where we demonstrate that we can navigate and move around ISS successfully. Once this is done and we get the okay from NASA, we'll berth with ISS the next day, which I believe will be shown on NASA TV.

I sent the photo to Elon & Gwynne (our CEO & President) and a bunch of other folks. People are digging the double SpaceX "swoosh".

Dragon is doing great and we're preparing for operations with ISS over the next couple of days.

Random thought: Any FIRST alumni involved with this?

Kevin Meissner, alumni of 11, is currently a structures engineer for SpaceX. He's the only team alum I know of working there. I trust there's plenty of people from FIRST involved though, including Kevin Watson ^

Yes, there are quite a few FRC alumni here.

I've decided not to check to see if it will be visible from Providence since I need to sleep before exams start tomorrow. If the launch had happened a month later, I could be setting up the telescope right now.

The ISS has captured the Dragon module. This is very very cool. Congrats SpaceX/humanity.

Dragon is now berthed to the space station! I believe they are openning the hatch tomorrow to receive the supplies

In addition to mentoring 294, I'm also a 217 alumn.

Robert Leibersbach from TorrBot (1197) and Ben Seipser from El Segundo Robotics (1759) also work at SpaceX.

Thought everyone would enjoy this. some of the Apollo astronauts signed a congratutory poster to SpaceX.



This is really cool, as some of the astronauts have criticized government spending on commercial space. Elon Musk stated in an interview that he considers these critics some of his greatest heroes, and sources of inspiration.
