I would agree. That looks very reminiscent of the Apollo missions. It looks like the space-x capsule get a bit more toasted than I remember the Apollo capsules getting. Although It could simply be because it is painted, or the fact that it has a much shallower angle of attack of the cone itself vs the Apollo, or it could just be bad memory... Ha! However you look at it, I'm just glad we're moving forward again.

I think this is a first try from space X. As their mark of fabrics is the vertical landing of the rocket, I believe that they will try to make vertical land with the capsule. if they succeed, that must be a great achievement

The video here was the Demo 1 mission with nobody onboard, the most recent one the Demo 2 mission where the 2 astronauts flew aboard to the space station. Unfortunately for now, SpaceX has ditched plans for retro firing for landing the capsule, and will just stick to the old fashioned parachutes and water landing tactic.

SpaceX Crew-1 team harnesses the Force by bringing Baby Yoda with them to space I am surprised that they got rid of the space suit as they are still travelling to ISS

No need for a pressure suit if the capsule is pressurized. They won't be docking until around 11:00 PM EST ( 4:00 AM GMT), so they gotta stay comfortable.
