SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell is the SpaceX representative.
"This was an incredibly smooth mission," says Shotwell. Notes that this is just the beginning of regularly bring people to and from low earth orbit.
@Astro_illini, commander for Crew-1 (first operational mission with Crew Dragon), notes that this mission went so smoothly it did not seem like SpaceX's first crewed misison.
@JimBridenstine says that the private boats coming in like that was a problem and something that they need to do better next time.
Stich (Commercial Crew Program manager) adds that it was clear for the splashdown event, but then boats came in after.
Shotwell says that the capsule appears to be in great shape from the early analysis. Stich adds that it is expected to take about four months to refurbish the vehicle.
Stitch: We want to have overlap between Crew-1 and Crew-2.
Me: This means two Crew Dragons at the Space Station at once! 🤯
Elon is on a plane to Houston to meet Bob and Doug.
Shotwell says that they will build a fleet of Dragon 2 vehicles (both crew and cargo). Want to get data back from the first few missions before deciding how many they need to build.
Shotwell: Biggest surprise of this mission was how smooth it was.
