SpaceX Dragon Capsule Hatch Opening from International Space Station (ISS) HD 5/26/2012

HD video of the hatch opening of the SpaceX Dragon capsule from the International Space Station (ISS) on May 26th, 2012 (5/26/2012). Hatch opening occurred at roughly 6AM EST. The SpaceX Dragon capsule is the first private space launch and delivery system to dock with the ISS. It will resupply the crew with food, equipment, clothing, and other items, and then will undock on May 31st to re-enter Earth's atmosphere, where it will hopefully be recovered.

This is incredible hope to see this continue forward and rapid advancement of space travel.

With my speakers/volume turned all the way I could barely hear the audio. Anyone else have the same experience?

This better be a joke or otherwise *facepalm*.

Yeah, thus while still being a gram, as mass is not dependent on gravity, it weighs less, as weight is dependent on gravity. So the poster was not wrong in their units used. On the other hand, the idea that the same amount of cannibis would cost less under microgravity is completely ridiculous.

Maybe space travel and transportation become more fast, easy, cheap, and affordable, in the future! We don't need to waste spacecraft body, but we should reuse it

Thanks a lot, and thanks for watching!

Weird, I hear it perfectly. But I am wearing headphones. Great Video BTW.

Space travel is ITAR protected. (aka Can't be outsourced) One of the best reason for supporting the growing New Space Industry. My company Solar System Express (Sol-X) is part of that.
