Heard Island and McDonald Islands Holy See (Vatican City State) Honduras How Crew Dragon will look in orbit. SpaceX. One thing to note: These are not CGI images (well, the video of it in orbit is). These images are from an actual mock-up of Crew Dragon. Admittedly, the interior might look a bit different – and more cluttered – when the first missions to space begin. But for now it gives a good idea of what it will be like for the astronauts inside. The spacecraft also comes with windows to afford astronauts stunning views of Earth and beyond. “With four windows, passengers can take in views of Earth, the Moon, and the wider Solar System right from their seats, which are made from the highest-grade carbon fiber and Alcantara cloth,” the company wrote on its website. The “comfortable and safe environment” on board is maintained by an Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS), through which astronauts can alter the temperature from 65 to 80°F (18 to 27°C). But for the most part, their spacecraft will be left to its own devices, although closely monitored by SpaceX mission control in Hawthorne, California. All in all, though, it looks pretty damn impressive. That first launch in 2017 can't come soon enough. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED
