Crew Dragon Undocking and Splash Down

[russelltwarwick]

I was just wondering if there's a way we could track returning Dragon Capsules. Would be cool to be able to access the live stream links e.c.t. Think it would be useful for future missions too.

Any thoughts on this idea?

This could go in the payload info under dragon

Are you just looking for a livestream link? Any other info?

[russelltwarwick]

Nice idea! No not looking for a link. I just thought it would be useful to return the splash down link :)

[jakewmeyer]

Like a splashdown video link?

[russelltwarwick]

Yeah
