OrganizedChaos Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Was at Universal last week and was able to catch the launch while at the park. Pretty far away, but it was still cool to see it going up. Edited July 10, 2017 by OrganizedChaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racescort666 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just now, TheEpicSquared said: Interesting. He also doesn't seem very reassured about the success of FH... Exactly, he's like "well if it clears the pad without damaging it, I'll consider that a win." Strangely pessimistic given other things he's said.

Perhaps it's simply because so much is riding on it at this point? The Company is confident enough about it to have booked ArabSat 6 on its second flight... 7 minutes ago, tater said: Musk said to really get people fired up we need a moon base.

tater Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) They deleted the pop out legs from the heat shield. Could still be backup for splashdown, however, where legs would not be used anyway.

CatastrophicFailure Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 This is seeming like a disappointing day for SpaceX. Any reason why the difficulty with the D2 landing legs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
