That glass dome is actually the Dragon toilet. LMAO...

AKA, the crapola...

I have to admit that the (lack of) coverage of Inspiration 4 in the past 12 hours has been a bit odd. There was SO MUCH hype leading up to the launch, and then the webcast ended and we've had nothing but a shot of the cupola.

I'm sure everything is fine, but I was kind of expecting to see video of them all having a great time. Some hypothesize on reddit that some of them might be puking their brains out, but still, an update would be nice.

I assumed most of the video was going to be locked down for the docuseries. I was hoping to at least get some coverage on Netflix's YouTube channel though. :(

I do find it odd that some time last night they increased their orbit by 10KM. As of about 10PM they were at the 575KM stated in all the mission specs, this morning they were at 585KM.

I can understand the lack of video if Netflix has it locked down. What I'm surprised by is a lack of tweets that just say "They're having a great time! Here's the schedule of when you can expect to hear from them."

Good point. Excellent opportunity for more fundraising.

I do love the excitement though. Screengrab from launch (stolen from /r)...

Based on the Netflix show, Haley has an...odd...love of pulling G's. ROFL

A little odd to me to think they wouldn't have looked out already, but OK. At least we finally got an "all is well" confirmation.

That is good news. I'm glad that none of them did a Borman.

If cupola = toilet, does this mean that none of them were able to relieve themselves from 2 hours before launch until later today?
