Not many things went right for NASA and SpaceX last week. Their desire to send a routine resupply mission, CRS-17, to the International Space Station was squashed by multiple glitches — first with the ISS itself and then with a SpaceX drone ship — but by Saturday things were back on track and SpaceX successfully launched the Dragon cargo capsule and it docked without issue early this morning.
The mission, which was live streamed via SpaceX’s YouTube channel, was not only successful in terms of delivery of the supplies to the ISS, but it was also a home run for SpaceX’s video systems which provided some of the best footage yet of the launch, separation, and landing of the Falcon 9.
