#2Re-entry happening some time tomorrow. Cool to see the ISS separation though!

#3Not yet, not until re-entry. It's arguably the most dangerous part of the missions since launching on Falcon 9 has happened many times before.
Both Soyuz and the Space Shuttle had fatal accidents on re-entry.

I don’t believe SpaceX has ever not tried and succeeded to return a Dragon sent to ISS back to Earth.

#5The first comment I saw in the live chat was "You people have it wrong, space is flat, not earth".

#6What's the link for the technical feed? Right now someone is filling time with a history of the ISS.

That is true, but it has only had one successful reentry (one out of one attempts) of a Dragon Crew capsule design (which, granted, is only slightly different than Dragon Cargo).

Hit the rewind button to see the departure. All of the "action" is pretty much done for today. They are now just floating through space waiting for the next burn. Tomorrow afternoon will be the re-entry an splash down activity

Well from what I’ve read the observable universe is fairly flat, but I was wondering what if we’re just living in a basin or on a plateau that extends beyond our observable reach?
I suck at math though so I’ll just wait for theoretical astrophysicists to tell me interesting things on blogs.

It’s more like “matter tells spacetime how to curve, spacetime tells matter how to move”.
