Short interview describing re-entry. Sounds noisy and bumpy. Colonel Behnken had 2 re-entries on shuttle flights so no space novice but he was surprised by the level of noise and bumps!

Dragon is due to "Fly" (falling with style) home on Tuesday. Fingers crossed!

I tell it like it is, if you want smoke blown up your ass or something sugar coated. I suggest you get a Hooker and a powdered donut.

The departure of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon cargo craft from the International Space Station was postponed on Monday morning because of weather in the splashdown zone off the east coast of Florida.
The uncrewed spacecraft was initially scheduled to undock at 9:25 a.m. ET. but was pushed back to 10 a.m. ET on account of bad weather off Daytona. The departure was scratched for the day shortly before 10 a.m. ET.
"A new undocking date and time is currently being evaluated,Air Force Veteran 1976 - 1999 - Cannabis Enthusiast since the 1960's

In the meantime, all Tesla owners will be locked in their cars and blasted with Motley Crue tracks until the weather in Florida clears.Originally Posted by mtpockets

Apparently getting the Dragon all packed and stowed away wasn't easy this time.
https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/in...384#msg2177384A very interesting exchange on the voice loop. The crew is currently working to pack cold storage items for placement in Dragon. There are apparently multiple lists, instructions, and notes for the same task. CAPCOM passed many of the pictures and text in one document do not match the ground versions and are flat wrong, and Houston has no clue why. After explaining that to the crew, Kate came on very forcefully told the ground that they will not concurrently work filling double cold bags and stowing them in Dragon. The multiple, contradictory sources of instructions with numerous corrections force them to focus on one task at a time. Her last statement, again forceful, to Houston was "Does everyone understand?" The somewhat tepid response was "Houston copies and agrees." This is not the first time the crew has voiced displeasure with the grounds efforts to micromanage tasks with multiple documents..“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”

Dude, I'm ashamed to admit that after reading all that, my first thought was: "CAPCOM; That would be a kickass first name!"Originally Posted by ElrondHubbard

"...After a one day delay, the CRS-21 automated cargo Dragon v2, the first-of-its-kind for the v2 class designed and developed by SpaceX, has undocked from the International Space Station to begin a 35 hour homecoming that will culminate with a splashdown off the coast of Tampa, Florida on Wednesday, 13 January at 20:27 EST (14 January at 01:27 UTC)..."
It's on its way!
