Original description:
"This is a recreation of a typical SpaceX Crew Dragon mission to the ISS, or rather, a crew rotation. This video covers the events from launch aboard a Falcon 9 all the way to splashdown, with the only exception being the phasing burns as I do not know how to perform a multi-burn(?) rendezvous. Instead, we'll be doing a good ol' direct rendezvous."
Crew Dragon, a Dragon 2 variant, is a next-generation, partially reusable spacecraft developed by SpaceX under NASA's Commercial Crew Program, featuring integrated abort thrusters, inline solar panels, closeable nose cone, and many more improvements over Dragon 1. Aside from ISS missions, it also flies for privately-funded missions such as Inspiration4, Axiom, Polaris... As of April 2023, it is the only operational human-rated orbital American spacecraft, and the only reusable orbital transport vehicle in the world.
