There is a shot of the 2 astronauts at the pad, in their suits, with the SpaceX "bird" on the pad behind them. Pretty cool.

But, the best is a photo side-by-side of both Boeing and SpaceX launch vehicles, with capsules, on their pads. It clearly, graphically, shows the differences between Boeing and SpaceX's "cultures". The SpaceX system looks like a new Tesla, while Boeing's set-up looks like an old Dodge, , , ,! LOL

Hey!!
Love the old dodge power wagons and their old muscle cars like the coronet with the 440 wedge or 383, or the 340 duster. Sweet cars! The new gen dodge 392 and supercharged cars have a strong showing at the drag strips and I've seen them beat a lot of Teslas.
It is kinda fun to see a silent wonder launch hard and then go into limp mode at the big end of the track.
And the repair service for Tesla sucks. A buddy with a performance model 3 had to wait like 3 months for a simple part and they were kind of pissy about replacing it under warranty.

As Voltaire said (paraphrased) - better is the enemy of good.



But yeah, the Dragon looks cool.
