Not sure about using touch screens though. They are hard enough to use in a car let alone the shakes of being on a rocket.

I just wonder if it'll say 'you've arrived at your destination'.

Microphones inside the helmets don't sound great. They work for now and are legible, but it's something that could be worked on.

 

[Boge]

Was that capsule deliberately made to resemble a cross between a Storm Trooper helmet and a certain persons Bell End?

I wouldn't put anything past Musk.

 

[Flibster]

Hope the launch escape system has a physical button

I'd want something like this.

 

[VaderDSL]

anyone know what sort of elevation to expect it come over?

I imagine it will follow fairly close to the ISS track, for me north of Manchester it's about 50 - 50 degrees evelataion to the South at it's max.

 

[Merlin5]

I bet there's an 11th hour scrub.

 

[Flibster]

Sounding like no-go for today.

 

[The_One]

looks like its off

 

[Deleted member 66701]

Weather is gonna scrub it.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Yeh sounds like its ******

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Damn it will be really disappointing if no go

 

[Merlin5]

Looking at the bright side, if there's a scrub, we can go through all this excitement again tomorrow!
