- SpaceX is closing in on certifying its launch pad at Space Launch Complex 40 to support astronaut and cargo missions with its second-generation Dragon spacecraft. On Monday, Feb. 26, the company performed a test of its new emergency egress system featuring a type of deployable slide.
NASA and SpaceX are aiming to complete certification of the crew access tower ahead of the Commercial Resupply Services 30 (CRS-30) mission set for mid-March. The earliest it could be used for an astronaut mission would be for the Crew-9 flight set for no earlier than August 2024.

"Oh no!" (a few... moments... later...) "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
If they are looking for volunteers, I will volunteer to test the slide! Looks very fun!
hammer industries has been having trouble finding volunteers
We are coming right along! I am so proud of the SpaceX
Very cool! Hopefully, they'll never need to use it, but it's good to have it just in case!
hi kalystialee how are you
@jamiesetchellakaJJ doing okay, my friend. You? 🙂
im doing great exited for a rocket launch
Will Robinson Smith, your parents have quite the sense of humor.
Makes me think of the emergency egress basket one last slide video 🥲
Like no other?
Based on OSHA escape system for oil drilling rigs.
Leon invents someone else's idea once again. 😂
So - how is the SLC-40 (pad 40) slide system different from the other slide systems? Because the carriers are in stowed boxes? The video touted the difference and then never addressed it.
To be fair the narrator does say like no other seen at a launch pad before.
Yes it did. At 2:38
Thumbnail said like no other and then claims it's similar to others.
Not sure what I'm seeing in the short video. Is that an exhaust trail? Is this thing rocket powered?
New slide looks too short in comparsion with NASA's cableway.
Good report.
Hope we never need to use it.. but looks fun🎉
wow
My steak sandwich isn't causing that carbon footprint.....
Why publish a video on a new slide system if you don't know what about it is new? 98% of the video is blah blah filler and the key info is 100% missing. That's not the way to establish credibility for your channel.

Interviewed an hour on the phone to operate one of the vessels .. .. Did they hire any female captains?
