Crew Dragon Launch

As of this post it is around T-minus 45 minutes until the launch of the Crew Dragon on a Falcon-9 rocket from Cape Canaveral with two astronauts on board. Things are looking good.
Range is clear, weather is kind of iffy.

The launch has been scrubbed for today. Next try is on May 30. Someone needs to develop a manned launch system that is not so dependent on weather.

What I don't understand is the one who had eyeglasses on inside his helmet. At least why he isn't wearing glasses that would spread out the force during take off. There are days when my own glasses bother my nose, and that is during regular gravity

I'm kinda interested in this launch cause my company makes parts for SpaceX and NASA. I dunno if any are on the rocket, but a few might be on the launch pad. Anything that measures any type of force (torque, thrust, load, etc).
