In this image made from NASA TV, the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, left, approaches to the international space station, Saturday, April 24, 2021. The recycled SpaceX capsule carrying four astronauts has arrived at the International Space Station, a day after launching from Florida.
The Dragon capsule docked autonomously with the orbiting outpost more than 260 miles above the Indian Ocean, a day after launching from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. It was the first time two SpaceX crew Dragons were parked there at the same time — practically side by side.ADVERTISEMENT NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur — the commander and pilot of the returning Dragon — monitored their capsule’s flat screen computers as the space station loomed ever larger. They could have taken control if necessary, but the autonomous system did its job, much like a self-driving car.
Is there a better term than recycled? We don't say 'recycled aircraft'.
Do we fly on “recycled” planes?
Old ..... recycled...... I get the point, but come on. It is the beauty and brilliance of space x to reuse perfectly good equipment. This writing is lazy
On Dec. 31 2020, the One Small Step to Protect Human Heritage in Space Act became law. Who owns the moon? How to manage low orbit congestion? Space is the new frontier of geopolitics.
Those at NASA and SpaceX won’t be happy until they have filled space up with junk and stuff like the sea is polluted with plastic. When will humans ever learn to stop polluting everywhere. As well as all those toxic gases from the exhausts of space rockets into the environment.
Recycled or flight tested
Only took 70 years, multiple countries and a staggering mountain of money to achieve this trip to just outside our planet’s atmosphere. Next stop Mars!
