Inspiration 4 launches tomorrow at 1.56 pm Sydney time if I've done the conversion correctly. I will post links to live stream links when they pop up.
There are currently 2 SpaceX Dragon capsules docked to the ISS. See pic
Crew dragon at the top for the Crew 2 mission and below it is the Cargo Dragon which delivered supplies and experiments including a small satellite made by a Western Australian team.
When Inspiration 4 launches there will be, for the 1st time, 3 Dragon Spacecraft on orbit.
It will orbit higher than the ISS and Hubble. Some say higher than any human since the last Apollo in 1972. Others maintain that the Shuttle mission, STS-125,to repair the Hubble telescope was further out as Hubble was in a higher orbit at the time.

SpaceX live stream for tomorrow. I'll probably watch Everyday Astronaut's stream as he gives a good preview and answers questions. I'll put a link up when I see it.

A couple of images from Resilience. This is the Dragon's 2nd trip to space after launching the Crew 1 mission to the ISS earlier.
Many were expecting live views constantly as they are used to from SpaceX but this is a private mission with Netflix seemingly holding the rights to any video. Guess we'll have to wait for more episodes of Countdown.
Meanwhile, a few pics.

A great success for sure. Jarrod said... we have just started. I guess he plans on more flights.
