I couldn't take more of the nasa broadcast with endless interviews and time wasting until the happening happens and switched to the Live Views From Orion stream instead:

It's just radio and cockpit view so far, bliss.

Edit: I guess NASA has no idea how to duplicate stream output, Views from Orion is just a blue screen as soon as they cut to their camera on the live coverage stream lol

Its a long way down. Technically they've been falling since they went around the moon.

It was crazy watching how quickly the Earth grew over the course of the day. I feel blessed to witness this.

Mach 33. That's 25 thousand miles an hour.
I can't wrap my head around that absolutely absurd amount of fast.

There's something about the vastness of space and the sheer scale of our world which gives pause to any sort of critique. If you don't feel overwhelmed and humbled by the distances you are dealing with you can safely say you lack the intelligence to handle human existence.

Sending good vibes to those awesome astros, you glorious bastards.

Thats why I hope they saved before they did that. Or they have autosave on.

I blinked and missed the module separation. Please tell me someone clipped it!!

At least Kerbals can handle 20G+ of force. Not so much us puny humans.

That "albeit momentarily" has me fully convinced that God has a sense of humor.

14000 ft/s descent rate certainly puts things into perspective. I've jumped out of a plane at 14,000 feet, that distance in a second is insane.

Glad to be alive to see this in real time, before stream cuts out.
