The historic five-day civilian spaceflight mission, Polaris Dawn, was completed safely on Sept. 15 as the SpaceX Dragon splashed down off the coast of Florida.
As an engineer, a musician, this blew me away. I certainly never expected the space concert… That, has to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever witnessed.
It is difficult to believe that All of this originated from the Visionary, Elon Musk . In 12 short years Elon mastered the science of Rocketry and Space Engineering by voraciously reading every book on the subject, and recruiting the finest, most talented engineers to be part of the SpaceX team. He has eclipsed NASA and everyone and every country in the realm of Space Exploration.... Stupendous and Astonishing!
Elon Musk didn't DO any of this. He paid for it and promoted it. The ENGINEERS are your men and women. The Program Directors, and the Astronauts are your Men and Women.
Before only a highly educated and well trained engineers could become astronaut. But now thanks to space x even a drop-out billionaire could become one..and others too..😊
Though Jared certainly dropped out he was/is, highly educated, trained and qualified. He, like Jobs, and many more in our time, followed his path and became a life long learner despite his challenges as a youth. I think the coolest thing about the point you make is with the privatization, commercialization of these endeavors, we can look forward to seeing people from all walks of life. One of the things amongst many that I dig about SpaceX and Musk for that matter is he/they seek out people with passion and fire for the endeavor. Truly amazing to witness.
The space agencies around the world need to start recovering the parachutes as well so they don't float around the ocean and create more ocean trash that harms the environment. Small point with big impact.
@@DFilthySmurfSeriously, the Flerfs believe this is all an elaborate hoax to have people think the world is a sphere, when it’s really “flat,” and we can’t go to space… 🤦🏻♂️🤣😅
This mission was paid for privately by a billionaire and the team spent two years preparing for the purpose of research. So they are not brining home the nasa astronauts but SpaceX has a scheduled flight to bring up 2 nasa astronauts on the 24th sept and would spend 6 months up on the iss. They will return around feburary with all 4 (2 stranded +2 main) astronauts
