It's amazing to me that they could land the launch rocket on this barge with such accuracy.

Before you know it they will be able to land it in a parking space at Disney World.

The video feed cut out just as it was landing - I really wanted to see this coming all the way down.. There is probably video from the prior test landing, but it would have been great to see it live! Thanks for the pic!

Amazing thing is that it will get to the Space Station in just a few hours.

Well, approximately 19 hours - and, they are supposed to get a full 8 hours sleep on the way! Can you imagine going to sleep at a time like this? No way - I wouldn't want to miss a second of it!

Em, I know. 19 hours seems long, but still to get to the Space Station. WOW. And yes, I would be too excited to sleep. LOL

United's nonstop flight from New York to Tokyo takes 14 hours but at least you can get up and stretch once in a while.

The crew is doing manual piloting in preparation for the docking with the Space Station that is expected in about an hour!

This video is about common questions people have about traveling in space. Ir's a fun talk and almost understandable, LOL. Enjoyable, so mark the little clock- upper right, to enjoy later,

Retired astronaut Chris Hadfield helps debunk (and confirm!) some common myths about space. Is there any sound in space? Does space smell like burnt steak? Is NASA working on warp speed?

Thanks, RadishRose! And extra thanks for telling us to click the clock for 'watch later.' I have no idea how that works, but I'll look forward to it when I'm more awake!

It was thrilling! I didn't know they could remove their suits.

LOL, I thought the stuffed "dragon" was a mylar balloon,

Can you imagine- 16,000 MPH!

My bad (vision) - It was Mylar! On prior launches, they were stuffed.

I think if we could all be thrust in to the future 100 years from now we would not believe what we would see.

As an admitted Trekky, the series focus on whole planets united in friendship. That's why they call it Sci-Fi.

This is a a parody. All the "illions" from Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Millions, Billions, Trillions and 1 Quadrillion.

I used to watch Cosmos every Sun. night.

I'll watch later, since you taught me how! I loved Carl Sagan - His voice mesmerized me!
