FAA has now grounded them indefinitely while this investigation is conducted.
They really didn't like the "we didn't tell anyone initially" and "by the way, we're flying again without taking time to properly figure out why, because paying customers".

Looks good so far.

I was telling my wife how weird it is that the other company flights had such shit video, and this SpaceX one in cabin looks better than my fucking Zoom calls for work.

Another easy launch. I am interested to see what the view in that dome will be - that would be pretty fucking awesome.

The dome window is pretty awesome

I was amazed at the engineering video of it, also the damn thickness of it.
Didn't think space would need that given what most things are made of.
When they finally make my space freighter that I haul rocks from the ring back from, I'm going to request my room has 2 such windows.

Aight ya'll, help me understand this. This gif from comet 67p that we landed on shows loose rocks sitting on it, how are these rocks not coming off in a zero gravity environment?
