No, but they did find a mouse in the capsule. Last I heard, Bob was asking Elon for a refund.

Yeah, that surprised me too but if you think about it, there was nothing between Apollo and the Shuttle, and nothing after the Shuttle till now. The other thing that surprised me was that the ISS has been continually inhabited for 20 years. As do spacecraft, time flies. Congrats to all involved!
That reminds me :
Back in 2013, I noticed every film I went to see had fundamentally exactly the same story.
I never got round to doing it, but I really wanted to make a Super-Edit of "Gravity", "All Is Lost", and "Captain Phillips" where Sandra Bullock splashes down in the sea, hitting and sinking Robert Redford's yacht, and after days of struggling to survive, his life raft gets struck by Captain Philips ship.
I found a live feed of the SpaceX Boca Chica Launch Pad on YouTube today digging around for info on the SpaceX Starship test launch, a hop as they are calling it.
It's not related to SpaceX, but since they don't stream every launch event, this is a good page to keep in your back pocket.
For anyone wondering, this version of the Starship for testing is on the far right, stripped down just for this test.
Edit: sorry for the bad info/screenshot earlier.

When is This going to happen? And it appears the rocket is on the right...the tall object. From what I just heard.
There isn't a time to launch. The window to launch closes at 8:00 PM CDT today, it opened at 8:00 AM CDT.
If you pull up the stream, there is a countdown on the top left giving indication as to how close it is to launch.
The gentlemen providing commentary are excellent, giving little bits of details and info on what to watch for. They are also answering questions. Some of the questions are really basic and provide some helpful info to newbies like me.

Hard to listen to while the wife and I are watching “Lost”
‘Thanks!
This is way better, for a few reasons. Here's just two:
1) This is real.
2) This is history being made.
