Crew Dragon to launch (uncrewed) test flight tomorrow

It will have a test dummy in a sensor-covered spacesuit, though.
0248 EST 2 March 2019: https://www.space.com/how-to-watch-s...1-mission.html for the link to watch it on NASA TV live, if you care to.
So, I didn't stay up to watch it live (0200-0300 is a bit much fore me), but according to the semi-live coverage here: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/201...-live-coverage the launch went well.
Still a couple of more hurdles to jump (docking with the ISS and re-entry), but so far, so good!
The docking with the International Space Station was successful.
Indeed, and this is a big milestone: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/...112124992.html
Spectacular, but the most emotive thing was seeing the stage one landing. I never expected to see that in my lifetime.

And Crew Dragon passed the final hurdle on the test flight!

So much good space stuff happening now.
Yes indeed. Happy landing.
