This astronauts are taking social distancing to the next level.

[mmusawi]

America: I'm afraid of no one
Weather:

[batman_]

So the launch was successful?

Edit : Ah, launch delayed due to weather.

[Kyle]

We can send people to space and send probes to the edge of our star system, yet we cannot accurately predict the weather a few hours ahead of us.

[papagen]

You would think in 21st Century they'd find a better propulsion system to go to space than....rockets.

Humanity Is Awakening, Rise Over Governments, Unite Into Freedom!

Does anyone else notice that the suits are actually two piece, I heard the announcer say that they where one piece suits, looks like a jacket and pants..you can see the separation between the top and bottom. I even saw an attendant pulling down on the jacket to keep it from shifting up. Is all this just for show? Is it real or another lie.?

[Websitedr]

Bummed it got canceled but awaiting their next attempt. Today was a preview or dry run of what is going to happen. Totally understand their call to put the safety above anything else. Flying a huge rocket with rocket fuel through electric clouds might not have ended well.

Elon without Roscosmos is like a Chevrolet without wheels

[synergestic]

On the good side since next launch is on weekend, more people can tune in.

[ElinWinblad]

Lol I wouldn’t trust that touch screen with that suit in an emergency 😆😆

[camerondespanza]

That stuff about we will be able to go back to the moon is funny how long ago that was

[Bborg]

It’s nice to see that they’re taking Corona to space

[Cjbmxes]

so they figured out how to get pass the radiation belt 🤪

[Noobgaming]

Someone needs to make a movie about Elon from when he was a broke guy working on a start up sleeping in his workplace to risking all his money on rockets and sending people into space

[shammusomalley]

The audacity of hope that people will think this is real

[tpndgo]

So, from what movie they borrowed those space suits ?

[johnbremner]

Why are there no sponsorship logos on the astronaut suits? Companies would pay millions each for this... Say $20, 000, 000 each x 5 logos.

[lovefrommemee]

Elon: We can launch faster and cheaper.
Shareholders: Delay. We can ask for more money.
Elon:???
Shareholders: Just blame the weather. Rocket have no wings to avoid bad weather 😆

2.50, more Syfy like Suits than the Apolla, & Space Shuttle Missions
