Ah - it's fine in the mission control shots, the other stuff must actually be abysmal then :)
My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

Yeah, the video from the P-3 was not great, but they were a long distance from it. Maybe later we'll see some good direct video that was taken of the splashdown.

Were the ashes of Gus Grissom aboard? ;)

My nuts have never been in space. Does that exclude me?

SpaceX announced its first commercial contract Tuesday to launch a heavy-lift rocket still in development.

Hard to believe, but this just may be the beginning of something wonderful. {cheerful}

I loved the enthusiasm of the workers during their broadcasts.

A successful recovery of the capsule and its contents will trigger a $1.6bn (£1bn; 1.3bn-euro) contract with the US space agency (Nasa) for 12 further re-supply trips.

I read today that the next Falcon9/Dragon launch is scheduled for October 5th, 2012. I'm really looking forward to it.
I demand a fifth Emirates (EK) destination in Germany: Berlin, coolest and biggest city.
