·While watching the launch of Virgin Galactic Unity 22, I noticed that astronaut Chris Hadfield’s X-33 bracelet is hanging very loose from his wrist. Has he always worn it like that?
Another great way to pollute the atmosphere for no scientific gain.....

Admittedly, this first commercial flight was passengers-only, but it paves the way for future research flights without passengers.
I guess "no scientific gain" this time....![]()
Yes he did, now its the turn of mere mortals!
But what watch, if any did RB wear?
Do we have another space watch?
Crew wore parachutes, which they could only use below 4200 meters as no pressure suits nor Oxygen devices were worn.
They would have to egress out through the small oval-shaped hatch... or would the craft break up in an emergency to allow easy exit ? 👎
The last time a SS2 broke up in flight, I don't think it was intentional. The parachutes did help though.
I can't see what use they'd be in a normal suborbital flight.
