    That's good to know - I figured as much. They're not going to let that happen again.

    Heck, someone with bad intentions could have rammed the capsule! Two lives and a lot of assets just floating there.

    Thanks Greg!
    I edited my earlier post to add a visual aid....

    @Big_Red_Taco , bad intentions were my immediate concern, drunken assholes unintentionally ramming Endeavor was the second

    Flipping through some videos on YT and saw a ‘redacted’ video of Endeavor being loaded onto Go Navigator with NO boats ringing the background (NASA Video). Found another with upwards of 20+ (C-Span - replay of the NASA footage).

    I also should mention how touching it was to see the SpaceX engineer get choked up talking about all the hard work the SpaceX team put in to get where we are today, and how important it was for them to return Americans to space with American rockets to and from American soil.

    You could also hear her voice crack when she announced splashdown. A truly emotional time for them and for us.

    Agreed.

    Here are Elon’s closing remarks from Houston. He seemed sincere, maybe humbled by it all sinking in:

    "I think this is something that the whole world can take some pleasure in and can really look at this as an achievement of humanity," Musk said. "These are difficult times, when there's not that much good news. I think this is one of those things that is universally good, no matter where you are on planet Earth. This is a good thing, and I hope it brightens your day."

    I wonder why he didn't mention the Egyptian aliens and what their thoughts were :rofl:

    Elon gets a little crazier every day.

    IOW they underestimated the stupidity, arrogance, and selfishness of human beings.

    I don't care if those vessels were legally allowed to be there or not. The next time I'd have a helicopter gunship in the vicinity and go all Darwin on them.
