Dragon's success

I admit, I've been enthralled with SpaceX's Demo 1 mission - launching the Dragon space capsule, dock with the ISS and safely reutrn it to earth. It's a prelude to sending astronauts to the space station from American soil for the first time since 2011.

 

If you didn't know, we been hitching rides for the past 8 years on Russian rockets for about $75 million/trip.

 

The Dragon space capsule safely splashed down yesterday morning and they are saying that real live astronauts will be launchedDragon splashdown sometime in May.

 

I wonder how long it will be till we establish a base on the mooon and then start sending people to Mars :-)

 

Would you go?

I still can’t decide if I would parachute.

I’d go after they’ve done it a few times and worked out the bugs.

Taken at face value . I have lots to say about this . Politically and more . Suffice it to say I’ve been to the moon Alice . Mars is a reach . But I’m in for sure . I heard they have nice beaches but no water ?
