CRS-8 Dragon Hosted Webcast ctm magazine
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Dragon spacecraft to low Earth orbit to deliver critical cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA. SpaceX is targeting an afternoon launch of its eighth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-8) from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. The instantaneous launch window opens on April 8th at 8:43pm UTC, and a backup launch window opens at 8:20pm UTC on April 9th. Dragon will be deployed about 10 minutes after liftoff and attach to the ISS about two days after launch. Following stage separation, the first stage of the Falcon 9 will attempt an experimental landing on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.

I still remember seeing all of these landings live and I was jumping out of my chair and hauling ass around my house screaming. Thank goodness I didn't have any close neighbors.
This one for the history books! Amazing! Oh, what a time to be alive!
2016: cried while watching it
2020: cried again while watching it again
SpaceX in 2016; "WE SEPARATED OUR STAGES GUYS" SpaceX in 2020: lol there is a car in orbit and we have astronauts on the ISS
a mousse HHHHHHHHHHHHH

SpaceX to other space agencies: Your rockets don't land?
27:17 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just here after the Starship test.
Just wow 🤩
History here.
Watching in December 2020 where video is crispier, narration is better, docking is autonomous, solar panels are on the body of the craft and not deployed like here, they’ve stuck 69 landings including multiple Return to Launch Site landings, as well as carried two human missions to the ISS. Y’all have come a long way from today. Good job.
Newest comment in a month!
just wanted to watch it again! (From 2021 jan 31th)
Watching this March 1st 2021.
Waiting for SN10 to stick a landing.
Awesome!
The first landing on the sea.😀
It’s really only been 4 years? Wow the immense pace of technological advancement at Space Exploration Technologies is insane.
5 years
Coming back to watch this when these landings are commonplace is heartwarming. I hope one day I can come back to Starship's early test flights with a similar feeling.
Today the the 5 year anniversary of this amazing landing!
It's been five years. Wow! I feel like it was yesterday.
I really miss this kind of excitement ngl
Today in 2021, the Falcon’s boosters landing have become a normal event. Wow, what a year to be alive
SpaceX is amazing
that’s its first Droneship landing
How far have we come?
after its stage one separation the second stage starts up with the laggy screen
18:20 the rocket is all white. 20:10 still white. and there is no horizontal circle above the text spaceX. OK let's assume it burns at the entrance to the atmosphere.32:10 but you can't make such a straight line on metal that burns at thousands of degrees. There is one more thing, there are two different world views from the same place. 26:00 which is real.26:50 which image is the shape of the earth???
I was freckin 11 years old when I watched this. It is so nostalgic just to see this after 5 years again.
I still remember when everyone laughed at Elon and said this wasn't going to be possible. I crossed my fingers hoping it'd become a reality and after seeing so many tests and a few failures…..this happened and I rewatch all the time just because.
