Wow I woke up at the PERFECT time

2 minutes after launch

anyone know how far downrange the landing is?

800km?

[sharp cairn]

Pretty much the same as Starlink missions

[tulip pollen]

so like 650ish

oh ik i was specifically asking what the object itself is

or refers to

[hushed dirge]

I'm so tired. But excited to have seen it. I'm gonna get a good 4 ush hours of sleep now

this is payback for when Inspiration4 launched at like 4:30am for me

there goes dragon

what a view

[radiant latch]

Go PD! Godspeed!

Nah, they've been a minute later than this in the past

It's just later than the normal Starlinks we see launch, nothing especially crazy about this one

So much for a publicity mission

[solar gulch]

It’s prime time for me and Europeans though

[tulip pollen]

niceeee

Is the Polaris dawn EVA gonna be added to the events tab?

Waut

It is on there

It just has the same fucking icon as the other EVAs

Incomprehensible

[solar gulch]

@bright mica We can use a custom Polaris Dawn/SpaceX EVA banner image

[shy ether]

Yeah they aren't using an EMU lol

So it'd make sense

YES

nice time for me

[bright mica]

Yup

[leaden brook]

Are they doing any experiments during the Eva?

Not really

Just testing the suit

what

the starlink shitter

its that thing no?

I wish if they were testing Starlink already they would stream the coast phase with it

Obviously we don’t need 24/7 internal cams but the views outside would be nice

[radiant latch]

24/7 internal cams would be an invasion of privacy lmao

[twilit kelp]

Yeah they def shouldn’t do internal cams but I can see external cams

I mean they already literally waived their right to live, what's a little spying

The mission is so sketchy tho bro

I'm really hoping everyone comes out okay

i just want the audioooooooooooooooooooo

honestly couldnt gaf about the views Gemini 11 did it already

huh the hatch is open. so the hatch is not the vacuum seal?

[iron swift]

oh so that was exclusively to break the altitude record

[molten tundra]

And to do a bunch of experiments

Like how the radiation affects humans and stuff

It would be dangerous to stay up there too long

[fickle elm]

how are we ever supposed to make it to Mars at this rate

[vale gust]

that wasnt the only reason
More importantly, those high up orbits pose much much more debris danger than Lower orbits like ISS, or even 700km orbit

Also, Dragon just isnt built for outer space, unlike Orion or Apollo CM.

same as artemis, except not landing on anything with it

with dragon?

i saw a render of a possible starship interior and like wow thats so much bigger than even the Shuttle

its getting close to like Star Trek sizes

[wispy talon]

before the HLS unmanned landing, or?

[short basalt]

Which is?

[wispy talon]

testing of the lander in LEO

[short basalt]

How’s that happen on Polaris 2 tho

[ashen pebble]

did they pull that flag out of their pockets or what

[random spear]

so why don’t they all 4 get to go outside?

[wispy talon]

a 4 person EVA on the first ever privately-operated EVA

two people going outside is already having a bunch of people bite their nails, so idk about more than that, let alone the entire crew

[random spear]

i feel like going outside isn’t really the risky part tho

it’s the depress

everyone has to depress anyway

[wispy talon]

you'll need at least one person inside regardless to pilot the craft

[random spear]

they’re going out one by one no?

[wispy talon]

I'd think so yeah

isn't it only one person going out-out?

and the other just remains at the hatch

kinda like the Apollo J-mission deep-space EVAs

or Gemini 4 or 9a

[random spear]

wait someone is going off the ladder??

[wispy talon]

is there???

I hear "yes" from some people and "no" from others

so

I'm assuming yes

also the skywalker sure as hell looks like a one-person thing anyways

nvm nvm

looks like they're both gonna be continuously holding onto the skywalker

[clever plover]

they have tethers right

[wispy talon]

umbilicals

[clever plover]

mm

[dense cargo]

i don’t think those umbilicals even allow them to go past the skywalker

they’re quite restrained

[wispy talon]

that would make sense

part of me was hoping to see at least one of them (Gills, maybe?) go for the Ed White moment

but I guess this is the safer option on an already ambitious mission

[dense cargo]

she does seem like she’d do that lol

[wispy talon]

it'd definitely be cool to see a capsule float-around eva for the first time in literally decades

Then again they don't have any equivalents of the ZipGun so they wouldn't be able to maneuver around unless they pinched a hole in their glove to fly around like Iron Man

[dense cargo]

erm you mean mark watney?

[wispy talon]

shhhhhhhhh

[random spear]

hopefully the cams are good

[twilit kelp]

I am really nervous for tonight

It just hit me out of nowhere

[wanton abyss]

there's really nothing to worry about

[twilit kelp]

This is the riskiest thing in human spaceflight in a long time

[wanton abyss]

uh hello we just flew crew on soyuz literally today

and starliner however long ago

[molten tundra]

It is risky though

[shy ether]

Awful thing is this is honestly worse

By a significant margin

[sleek stratus]

is it? They seem to be taking the conservative option wherever possible

[shy ether]

At least soyuz is flight proven and Starliner has gone through a bajillion NASA reviews and is based on proven technology

I'm all for pushing boundaries but

[shy ether]

Their suits don't even have proper MMOD shielding what do you mean they're taking the conservative option

[twilit kelp]

Yeah it’s far less proven

[wanton abyss]

soyuz is flight proven sure
it is also being produced by a nation in wartime with zero money lol

[sleek stratus]

not going thru nasa reviews is dodgy indeed but they aren’t even going all the way outside

[wanton abyss]

and there have been more and more incidents in recent years

[solar gulch]

Is this really that risky compared with Shenzhou 7, which also have a stand-up EVA on a (at least in that case it was only half-depressurized) free-flying small spacecraft and on an EVA suit that was also unproven till then? (though the difference was also there - the 2nd astronaut on the EVA simply stayed in the orbital module on a Russian suit that the Chinese got from cooperations)

[twilit kelp]

The really risky part to me is that it’s completely depressurizing, so if it doesn’t repressurize or something else happens then they might be done for

[sleek stratus]

Pretty sure they come home if it won’t repress

[random spear]

real af

[random spear]

they’re using the nosecone for that iirc

any debris on an eccentric orbit passing their flight path can still mess them up

15 mins each

two

Oh

Yeah

jared and idk

[dense cargo]

FUCK

i woke up early

goodnight

[vale gust]

Spacewalk has started right
?

Anyone?

[distant hemlock]

Lol no

it got delayed

[vale gust]

but next spaceflight app shows me so

ohh

[distant hemlock]

Everyone would be in this chat if it started

[vale gust]

i was wondering that..

can you share the LIVE link when it starts here in discord? i use Blockers in PC and phone so really dependent on discord for imp youtube videos

[random spear]

it’s not on yt

[vale gust]

omfg

XXXXXXX????

[quaint lance]

Crew-3 to Crew-7 recups: huh?

[vale gust]

Some channel might broadcast on YT for sure? NSF?

[dense cargo]

yeah

[eager yarrow]

Yes

[vale gust]

Then share that link once its there

oh i forgot spacex has allergy from youtube these days

[random spear]

[vale gust]

thanks comrade

[rough tide]

They delayed it??

[eager yarrow]

Yes

[hushed dirge]

Welp looks like I'm not going to be watching this. sighs in America

[vale gust]

you should man

[dense cargo]

it’s at a perfect time for me and i still can’t watch it

[vale gust]

why polish bro?

[dense cargo]

wdym why polish

[vale gust]

you are from poland right?

[dense cargo]

yes

[hushed dirge]

It's at 5 AM for me now

[vale gust]

and its like 7 am right now there

[hushed dirge]

1 am here amigo

[dense cargo]

that’s not even bad they’re gonna leave the capsule at like 5:30 for you

[vale gust]

wake up early, it wont happen again

@random spear it would be 2:30am for u, would you be online?

[hushed dirge]

I think 3:30

Idk

[vale gust]

idk

[modest panther]

I'm going to be in a lab working myself to a headache inspecting insects in ethanol fumes

[hushed dirge]

Well

[modest panther]

Again

[vale gust]

wow, sending them to space for experiments soon?

lol

[hushed dirge]

Excuse yourself saying you need to review "important materials"

Problem solved

[vale gust]

yeaah

[fringe field]

remember the last time you decided to sleep during an important space related event

[random spear]

hopefully but i dunno

trying to shift my sleep schedule for the launch tomorrow so

[dense cargo]

cmon don’t miss it

it’s a starlinks tomorrow

this is a once ever

thing

you’ll get another starlink

[random spear]

depends what my body does

[dense cargo]

your body better wake the fuck up

[random spear]

i’m going up to vandy lmao

[dense cargo]

yeah but for a starlink

[random spear]

looking to bag my 7.25th launch

[dense cargo]

bag the 7.25th launch after you’ve seen the EVA

trust

[twilit kelp]

Moin

[random spear]

it’s not just me who’s going

[dense cargo]

oh

fair

[random spear]

if my body stays up

i should make some food

[dense cargo]

drink coffee or smth

idk

[random spear]

i don’t have any lol

[dense cargo]

ice cubes then

[random spear]

lmao

i’m too chained by gravity to floorida atm

[hushed dirge]

I gotta drive in the morning so I need sleep else I'd get up to see spacewalk. Hope all goes well though

[twilit kelp]

Wait is there gonna be a stream for the spacewalk?

[random spear]

yes

[hushed dirge]

Ye

[radiant latch]

mmmm 3 in da mornin

delicious

[hushed dirge]

I wish it was 3 for me

[radiant latch]

everything good happens at 3 you know it

[twilit kelp]

Ughhhhhh it got pushed back

[random spear]

again?

[twilit kelp]

No

[random spear]

ah

[twilit kelp]

I missed the first time

Bc I just woke up

[random spear]

gooooooooooood morning

[fringe field]

me when

[hushed dirge]

Honestly if It was pushed a little later I may consider then waking up early

[radiant latch]

same game plan for me, fall asleep with an alarm

[twilit kelp]

gooooooooooood night again, cya in 4 hours

[hushed dirge]

Night chat. Hopefully I'll wake up to a perfect spacewalk

[radiant latch]

I honestly thought PD would scrub the night of the launch

[random spear]

i don’t have that level of trust in my ability to wake up with that short of notice

[radiant latch]

woke up mega suprised

[hushed dirge]

Course. It always seems like something goes wrong when something I wanted to watch and didn't

[random spear]

[hushed dirge]

Me either

[radiant latch]

usually when I set an alarm it always ends up being scrub and I awaken in vain

[hushed dirge]

My worst fear

[radiant latch]

better safe than sorry

[hushed dirge]

I keep saying goodnight and don't leave lmao

I'm attached ✨️

[radiant latch]

i need the sleep school is way too early and it's not around the block

[hushed dirge]

Alright, this one for real. Goin sleepy sleep chat. Sending good vibes in my slumber

[radiant latch]

Vale.

[molten tundra]

The stream is 720p again guys 😦

[tulip pollen]

honestly I'm not worried at all

[sharp cairn]

Intro rolling

[tulip pollen]

spacex wait there's a launch

[solar gulch]

I wonder where’s that spare live stage at Hawthorne where the BlueBird stream being aired from

[tulip pollen]

maybe at the control centre

just the woman on commentary with a headset

[sharp cairn]

Up to 3 external cameras, this one, nosecone camera, and skywalker camera

[tulip pollen]

next to the flight controllers

[sharp cairn]

May also have helmet views too

[tulip pollen]

wow

what a view of earth

less than 1 hr away from EVA

[floral oxide]

Did they delay it so that the AST F9 launch team could watch it lmao?

[twilit kelp]

But I also don’t wanna watch on my phone screen

[distant hemlock]

Welp im gonna get a popsicle then

[iron swift]

has time gone that quickly wtf???

[twilit kelp]

I’m gonna be running off 5 hours of sleep today so today should be fun

[iron swift]

i always run off 5 hours of sleep :D

[distant hemlock]

Ive had a insane sleep schedule all week so

[iron swift]

(not something to be proud of at all)

[twilit kelp]

I usually get 7ish

Ughhhh I wanna go back to sleeeeep

[distant hemlock]

Were twinsies rn

[sharp cairn]

Rare full SpaceX mission control

[distant hemlock]

Ok at desk no

[twilit kelp]

Probably because they’ve got two missions happening rn?

what’re they doing

[fringe field]

Soon hopefully an EVA

[tulip pollen]

putting suits on

[distant hemlock]

They sure are

[fringe field]

Suits are already on

[distant hemlock]

Why are you up!

[fringe field]

The little thing at the bottom hasn't updated for some reason

That or I'm entirely wrong

[main creek]

Why is the stream so bad lol

[tulip pollen]

its not

[distant hemlock]

Its isnt idk

[main creek]

Literally 0 information what's happening currently

[distant hemlock]

well like

[woeful ruin]

EVA time

[distant hemlock]

its happening

[fringe field]

I think it might be delayed a bit

No way they're gonna be ready in 8 minutes

[main creek]

Like it's supposed to be almost happening and they are just talking about how it feels to wear a space suit

[tulip pollen]

suit leak checks soon

[main creek]

Meanwhile n$f are just yelling movie references l

[fringe field]

Ok so it's not happening in 6 minutes

[random spear]

fell asleep and by some miracle woke up

[distant hemlock]

Because a monster is in the ship and everyone is panicking, jared has assimilated it

[distant hemlock]

I set 5 alarms

[main creek]

Me every morning

[iron swift]

probably a dumb question but they do have tethers right

[tulip pollen]

ye

[solid tiger]

they have spiderwebs

[distant hemlock]

how stupid would it be if he just floated away

Oh

[iron swift]

oo

[distant hemlock]

they are talking about the record

[iron swift]

there's a suit telemetry thing now

[distant hemlock]

.

Oh yeah

[fickle elm]

no one ever said anything about tethers

[iron swift]

"we should be getting comms pretty soon" comms immediately happen

[fickle elm]

there's a bunch of life support tubes

[radiant latch]

what am I looking at

[tulip pollen]

seat rotation coming up

[fickle elm]

but that doesn't seem like a very good thing to bet your weight upon

[iron swift]

seat rotation

[distant hemlock]

noice

[iron swift]

update the
the timeline

ok there

[rough tide]

Eoa

[iron swift]

rotation complete

[twilit kelp]

Equisition of Aignal

[solid tiger]

what is the target orbit btw

[fickle elm]

wouldn't it be funny if the spacewalker kicked really hard on the ship to propel themselves away and dragon had to activate reaction control thrusters to fetch him/her back?

[tulip pollen]

uh

that sounds like a For All Mankind moment ngl

[distant hemlock]

thats what I was thinking lol

[iron swift]

lmao i had that thought too

would be such a mess

[solid tiger]

i can only imagine the headlines

[distant hemlock]

OK but in for all mankind there would be a debris field coming up

[tulip pollen]

true lol

o there we go

hello jared

[iron swift]

probably the case with most movies set in space

[fickle elm]

ooh

[distant hemlock]

oh cool

[twilit kelp]

Woah

[solid tiger]

there's the tether

[remote gazelle]

JARED!

[fickle elm]

looks pretty serious. I can tell by how stiff his body is

oh wait...

[distant hemlock]

Looks like hes passing an egg

[twilit kelp]

Probably just easier to assume that position

[tulip pollen]

HUD checkout

[woeful ruin]

man I love being a spaceflight fan because it means I have to wake up at ridiculous hours to watch things aaaa

[tulip pollen]

now waiting for the go/no-go

[twilit kelp]

Fr it’s great

[distant hemlock]

Its 3am I am tried of this

[radiant latch]

man this is getting tough to stay up for but I have to

I'm gonna see it

[woeful ruin]

this is a great birthday present tho

[fickle elm]

yeah he's probably gotta be posing stiffly due to pressurized suit 🤣

[twilit kelp]

Once Jared goes out I’m going back to bed

[tulip pollen]

me during the great starlink 4am streak of whenever that was

[iron swift]

he standing like a figurine lmao

[twilit kelp]

Jared action figure when

[fickle elm]

no head mobility

[remote gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-turn-neck-what-aye-gif-27492539

[fickle elm]

the action figure would be easy to make

lmao

[iron swift]

no x video feed dont fucking buffer on me now

[fringe field]

That is one hell of an insult

Low quality Jared looks like mark watney

[twilit kelp]

He does

[distant hemlock]

[distant hemlock]

is he gonna iron man this bitch

[short basalt]

Why’s the hood not down

[radiant latch]

perhap

[tulip pollen]

no need, still inside

[woeful ruin]

He does

[distant hemlock]

Are they playing csgo rn?

[fickle elm]

he's fidgeting with the hatch!

[tulip pollen]

oo

[distant hemlock]

OH

[radiant latch]

LET ME OUT

AHHH

[fickle elm]

but it's not scheduled to open for like 30 mins

[distant hemlock]

RELEASE MEEEEE

[fickle elm]

lol

[iron swift]

he yearns for the space

[radiant latch]

[fickle elm]

wonder why the oxygen goes into his thigh

[radiant latch]

then why did I wake up now

[iron swift]

GOOO

[fringe field]

Jared rn

[floral oxide]

go!

[fickle elm]

they call the suit nitrogen purge and pressurization the start of the EVA but the hatch still doesn't open for half an hour

[radiant latch]

¡Anda pues!

[eager yarrow]

Crew is GO

[iron swift]

i mean yeah no surprises there you cant just immediately open the hatch lmao

[twilit kelp]

Crazy that all it is is just a quick close of the visor

[iron swift]

all 4 is go

EVA has begun

[fringe field]

WE JOE

[radiant latch]

we're on the edge of the cliff

[fringe field]

Moment

[distant hemlock]

Someone make 10 hours of dragon venting noise to sleep/study to

[radiant latch]

yup gotta equalize to nothing

I imagine the pressure has to be very very exactly to nothing once the hatch is open

before even

[tulip pollen]

yeah matching the vacuum

[distant hemlock]

Yeah or else kapoof

[short basalt]

How can they hear anything

[radiant latch]

no dude this is nerve wracking

[fickle elm]

the whole thing is pretty sketchy. I would'vr launched a custom airlock into orbit and then attach it to the dragon. that way if something happens to Jared they can just detach and go home immediately

[short basalt]

What? Lmao

[radiant latch]

I think the mission is fine as is

[distant hemlock]

[fringe field]

they should have put an inflatable airlock in the trunk and docked with it on orbit

[radiant latch]

this isn't the first time this has been down in spaceflight just the first time for dragon

the OM used to be the soyuz airlock

[radiant latch]

the Apollo ending

[worn laurel]

had a conversation with a friend and he brought up an interesting thing

[iron swift]

something in 3

[main creek]

This

[iron swift]

minutes

[fickle elm]

how does an inflatable airlock work

doesn't it have to be rigid?

[distant hemlock]

air lock but it inflates

[fringe field]

they used them on voskhod didn't they

[distant hemlock]

[radiant latch]

yup

[fickle elm]

oh yeah I guess it works because there's nothing pushing into it from outside!

[radiant latch]

a module on ksp is based on it

one of the stock expansions

[fickle elm]

I've been on earth too long

[radiant latch]

we all have

[worn laurel]

if jared had an issue and the umbilical seperated (but the suit kept pressure) could they maneuver the dragon to "scoop" him back up? (friend brought it up and i was thinking abt it)

[distant hemlock]

lol]

[tulip pollen]

probably maybe

[radiant latch]

theoretically

[distant hemlock]

This was mentioned earlier

[remote gazelle]

it would eat him

[tulip pollen]

or just push a tether out

and reel him in

[fringe field]

why would the suit keep pressure

[radiant latch]

If Rook was in a spin he could perforate his suit once he touches skywalker

[twilit kelp]

All of the thrusters on dragon are almost certainly completely disabled rn to avoid an accidental firing

[fringe field]

the regular dracos are gonna be used during the spacewalk iirc

[astral apex]

Only bulkhead Dracos are disabled

[distant hemlock]

ACTIVATE THE SUPER DRACOS

[twilit kelp]

They are?

[astral apex]

The service module Dracos are active

[twilit kelp]

Guh

[twilit kelp]

Why

[fickle elm]

I would assume the suit can keep pressure and has some oxygen without the umbilical for a short time. but I don't know at all

[fringe field]

they wanna do the EVA over the US right?

[astral apex]

Dragon will reorient trunk facing the sun before hatch opening

[twilit kelp]

Oh I see

[radiant latch]

I wouldn't think it matters right

[distant hemlock]

I should have not woken up so early

[twilit kelp]

Same

[radiant latch]

right before this started I lost all my desire to sleep

[fringe field]

what's the bet they abort

[fickle elm]

oh the trunk section is attached. they could've stored an inflatable airlock in the trunk, then Jared can go out and fetch it and attach it to the hatch, so that he can use it to go out of the hatc-

[iron swift]

prebreathe complete?

all is go

[eager yarrow]

NO JARED NOT YET, WE AREN'T DONE VENTING

"i see a lot of people asking why its taking so long, you dont want to shock pressurise the suit"

lol#

[radiant latch]

especially not on the first round

[nocturne night]

psi absolute

[worn laurel]

relative to absolute

[fringe field]

why are they using imperial measurements? don't spacex usually use metric?

[worn laurel]

rather than 1 atm

[tulip pollen]

psi is such a stupid unit

[nocturne night]

psia is pressure relative to vaccum, vs gague pressure (psig) which is relative to ambient pressure

not now anti-standardoids

[fickle elm]

I use PSI for my tyres so I am not particularly annoyed

[hard sundial]

This is the typical way to differentiate pressure

[fickle elm]

I use metric for everything else

[tulip pollen]

i use bar

[worn laurel]

i mean i make fun of americans using imperial, but i rly cant say much (british)

[remote gazelle]

my country is metric so i must use metric

[fringe field]

yeah same

but I never measure pressure in day to day life

[radiant latch]

or you can just not care like a normal human being

[tulip pollen]

mine is the uk but i still use metric

[fickle elm]

pints and gallons and tablespoons

[fringe field]

I only care because spacex uses metric for everything else

[radiant latch]

and besides the United Kingdom uses both

[fringe field]

TDRS handover

in 2 mins

[tulip pollen]

TDRSS handover cool

[iron swift]

it is so happening

[radiant latch]

I thought they were using only starlink

[short basalt]

Real

[fringe field]

they're using starlink for video right

and TDRS for actual communication?

[radiant latch]

really cool that nasa collabed with tee driss

[iron swift]

nope !

[fickle elm]

the orbit is much less elliptical than I imagined

[twilit kelp]

Nah there’s a starlink demo or something tomorrow iirc

[sharp cairn]

They aren't using Starlink for this operation

[eager yarrow]

TDRS for communications, ground stations for video, and Starlink for demo's

[radiant latch]

ohhh

[sharp cairn]

Trunk is pointed the wrong way during this for it to be used anyway

[radiant latch]

they need to add a navball idk what orientation it is in

[fickle elm]

excellent. let's stowaway in the trunk next time

Trunk is pointed to the sun

[fickle elm]

no one will see

[fringe field]
