I love that the inside of your Dragon capsule looks like a spaceship. Usually they look like the inside of something knocked up in someone's workshop at home.

Just wait until they stuff the cargo in.

Will much cargo go in the Dragon capsule or is it only for crew? This looks like the inside of a passenger liner, normally space going craft are Spartan at best and draconian at worst!pic.twitter.com/tcoYS2hoR2

They‘ll use every liter and gram they can spare for cargo. Spaceflight is still freakin‘ expensive and you don‘t wanna waste it just because you’re flying humans in a „fancy“ one. They/you being the customer, i.e. NASA. Flying half-empty is more expensive than full or not at all.

I thought rather than fill all the available space with humans and cargo, they'd need to balance the crew numbers and required provisions with the desired altitude. Thrust and fuel are finite and weight is surely the single most important factor?
-
For Dragon 1 to ISS, the volume is limiting factor and Falcon 9 has a ton of lifting margin to spare for LEO.

No women?

1. Perhaps there weren't very many who made the life choices that led them to join the quest at Sapce X. 2. Maybe they didn't make the physical / mental cut. Would you prefer
@SpaceX send a Woman / Women who aren't qualified just to virtue signal a PC stance? -
I'm glad you don't make the choices.

I am too.

They’re heading into the vacuum of space travelling at 17,500 mph. It’s their qualifications and experience what count, not what gender they’re.

Our son had the privilege to meet Mike in NZ. Great news for space exploration.
