I think the next Crew Dragon launch is due in October.

Last I saw, the first crew launch for Starliner was expected to be sometime next year.

Test flight of SN8 was stupid to watch. How does that thing get off the ground, and then the loop at the top and free flight down, then another loop at the bottom as the engines kicked in again.
Thought it was going to catch fire at the top. Guy with his hand on the 'abort' button to blow it up must have held his nerve.
On another note, there are channels that broadcast these things live with guys explaining what it is all about. I watched it on WAI and the guy went nuts. On air for over 7 hours
Watch from 6:28:00

It looked like the raptors fired too late when landing, the landing looked hard but not hard enough to warrant the massive explosion.
I wonder how much fuel was left? I'd imagine it was relatively emptied so I'd hate to imagine the explosion when fully loaded.
