The REAL value of this mission is that the spacecraft has the ability to Raise, Lower, and Diagnolize its orbital trajectory. That matches recent Chinese spacecraft maneuvers, where they demonstrated "evasive" maneuvering, and/or the ability to reach for, and grab another object while in orbit. SpaceX needs this capability for future "re-fueling" activities, if they want to go to Mars. Also for "servicing" of higher orbiting major platforms, such as in GEO orbits. USAF is already looking at this, and there is older technology such as the OMV vehicle, where grabbers were implemented to "do things" in orbit, onto other satellites.

SpaceX did make a pretty big mistake by making a very large typo in their report that was included with the launch license application, but the whole process really needs to be refined. The fact that there is a 60 day review period is fine, but what isn’t is that 60 day period can be reset as many times as someone wants to, delaying the launch indefinitely. Our regulatory system is built around 1960s spaceflight cadence and that’s a huge problem. There really should be a “FSA” who would be completely independent from the FAA and focus only on spaceflight issues with a brand new streamlined process.

@victorkrawchuk9141
16 күн бұрын
An interesting idea. The Gemini B craft that was intended to be used with the MOL (Manned Orbiting Laboratory) had a circular hatch in the heat shield so that crew could traverse to and from the orbiting station while docked. MOL was cancelled in 1966 and the Gemini B was never tested in orbit with a crew. But I'm sure SpaceX could develop a similar hatch for Crew Dragon, however it might take a long time for NASA to crew-certify the modifications. It probably makes more sense for SpaceX to concentrate on Starship and limit the additional development work on Crew Dragon.

Its not going to go well; mark my words. The entire spacecraft has to be depressurized. If re-pressurization fails for some reason, it puts all of them at risk; they have no fallback. Spacewalks are the stuff of NASA et. al. Spacex is QA-centric, but this feature has never been tested except on Earth. Personally I think the risk profile is way too high. Also, if the re-pressurization is partial, it will risk re-entry.
