In celebration of the 1 year anniversary of the first launch of crew to the International Space Station by a private company, I have made this animation. This is also my first attempt at making an animation, although there were many versions before this final animation. As I learned more about how to use blender, the models became better and progress was made faster
This animation demonstrates what the Demo-2 flight looked like back on May 30th, 2020.
NOTICE: the ORIGINAL release date was going to be on May 30th, 2021, but at that time, I had only just gotten above the halfway mark by then.
