Crew Dragon executa cu succes misiunea Demo 1

spacealliance.ro/articles/view.aspx?id=20190308144000

Dragon 2 was designed to land using thrusters, with parachutes as backup. Switched to chutes as primary, due to difficulty of proving safety, but Dragon can still do it.
For cargo missions, propulsive land landing should be no problem. Doesn’t have same safety criticality as crew.

Mi se pare mie dar articolul ala din specealliance.ro pare a fi scris de una din fatucile prostute care scriu de obicel la Ziare.ro
Auzi dumneata, “capsula s-a prabusit in apa”
“ pentru ca, naveta spatiala a permis, la timpul ei, aducerea echipajului la sol, in mod controlat”

“...a trebuit sa demonstreze ca poate zbura in conditii de siguranta un echipaj uman si tocmai de aceea accentul a fost pus de NASA tocmai pe aceste elementele, in detrimentul complexitatii tehnice. Cel putin in prima faza”

Cel putin in prima faza ar trebui ca site-ul sa caute pe careva care stie sa scrie si intelege ce scrie.
Sorry, man.

On Saturday morning SpaceX will attempt to launch its Crew Dragon spacecraft for the first time, marking the latest step in a relationship between NASA and the California rocket company that has now spanned 13 years. It has been a fruitful relationship for both.

For SpaceX, funding from NASA allowed the company to accelerate development of its world-class Falcon 9 rocket from a single-engine booster. Perhaps more importantly, sustained funding for cargo missions to the station (16 have flown so far) has provided the operational breathing room to continue to improve the Falcon 9 rocket, practice landing it, and make reusable rocketry a reality. Now, with crewed missions nearing, SpaceX may soon become the first private company to ever launch humans into orbit.

NASA, in turn, has gotten a good deal. SpaceX has consistently offered services to the space agency—for cargo, crew, and science experiments—that cost less than competitors and for far less than it would have cost NASA to develop those capabilities independently.
"If we did this the NASA way, we’d do it the classic old way, we would base it on our pedigree and our other activities," the space agency's chief of human spaceflight, Bill Gerstenmaier, said recently regarding the commercial crew program. "This way, they’re pushing us, and they’re forcing us to look at things in a new way, and I think that’s really cool."

After the successful docking, Roscosmos tweeted a Russian language congratulation to NASA, but underscored the fact "that flight safety must be above reproach." An hour later it published a rare tweet in English, sending "its sincere compliments to the colleagues from NASA," but without the emphasis on vehicle safety. Neither tweet mentioned SpaceX.

I would like to point out something else interesting—from one point of view this is a good thing, because we were carrying astronauts, we were getting basically for free $400 million a year at about $90 million per seat for each foreign astronaut. That is more than the entire cost of the rocket and the ship and launch operations taken together.

Nu vad de ce malitios: nu este decat observatia asupra textului in romana, care pare scris de un oarecare de pe strada, certat cu scoala si limba romana.
Plus ca trebuie sa fie imbecil ca sa scrie ca “s-a prabusit” in apa, ca si cum nu a vazut ce s-a intamplat sau nu intelege termenul.
Dar aste sunt lucruri separate de context, e important ca misiunea a fost un succes, cel putin asa se vede de la distanta, ca nu l-am intrebat pe Ripley daca mai rasufla sau mai are toate oasele intregi.
