@VicGlover Can one of you bring a metal Slinky up to the ISS so we can study the behavior in near 0g please?

[CrewDragonLaunch @crew_launch]

Million dollar view 👌🏻

[Garrett Reisman @astro_g_dogg]

Hey @CaptMarkKelly and @GabbyGiffords would it be ok if @SpaceX and @Nasa borrow the USS Gabrielle Giffords to provide security for the next Crew Dragon #SplashDown ? I have a volunteer captain here ready to take the helm and keep pleasure craft at bay. @Astro_Doug @AstroKarenN

Need a full rundown of @NASA/@SpaceX #DM2 starting with @Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken suiting up... all the way to docking to the ISS!?! I’ve got you covered with a brand new video with the detailed timeline!!! Watch the whole thing here! @elonmusk https://t.co/ygrZ6Z53cB

Julia has been a remarkable resource for tracking and documenting incoming/outgoing vessels from Florida. Her subject matter is usually SpaceX recovery vessels.

Here, Tug Hawk pulls OCISLY (Of Course I Still Love You) to sea where it will hopefully catch #DM2 booster.

[Julia Bergeron @julia_bergeron]

I may have been the last of the photographers to see her out to sea, but I wouldn't miss it for the world. Fair winds and following seas to the crew of Tug Hawk and their precious load, OCISLY. #SpaceXFleet #DM2

[CrewDragonLaunch @crew_launch]

Apparently #HurleyBehnken have been out cruising the Strip in the Moel X!

Next week, @NASA and @SpaceX prepare to #LaunchAmerica.

Should SpaceX's Crew Dragon mission launch May 27th, it will be exactly 15 years to the date of the first successful hot fire test of the Falcon 1 rocket.

NOSE CONE CATCHERS: Here’s a close-up look at @SpaceX fairing-catching vessels GO Ms. Chief and GO Ms. Tree, which recently were berthed at the Port’s nearly completed North Cargo Berth 8. The vessels attempt to capture rocket nose cones in their huge nets after a launch.

Do you feel it? Is your heart-rate amping just a little bit?

If so, you’re a SpaceX fan!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Static fire of Falcon 9 complete – targeting Wednesday, May 27 at 4:33 p.m. EDT for Crew Dragon’s launch to the @Space_Station with @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug on board → https://t.co/bJFjLCzWdK

[CrewDragonLaunch @crew_launch]

@Astro_Doug There’s a lot going on in this picture, but consider me inspired! Just a kid at heart, don’t let the grey hair fool ya!

Best of luck on the mission!!!

[CrewDragonLaunch @crew_launch]

What is the secret to knowing if you’re looking at the correct booster for DM2? Do you know? It’s an item NASA hasn’t used in quite a long time. Take a guess!

DM2 - Note the coexistence of the shoulder NASA Meatball logo AND the chest “worm” logo.

Reintroduced for DM2!

[CrewDragonLaunch @crew_launch]

How about a little docking simulation whereby Dragon interface is utilized for when CrewDragon meets up with the ISS 😎

Enjoy!

[Learn With NASA @LearnWithNASA]

The @SpaceX Crew Dragon will #LaunchAmerica in 7 DAYS!

With the SpaceX Simulator, you can be the pilot👩‍🚀👨‍🚀& familiarize yourself with the interface controls @AstroBehnken & @Astro_Doug will be using as they 🚀 to the @Space_Station.
