  1. Just watched in the DSN now app and found this : Could they be preparing for the EM1 mission ?
  2. Depends on how much fuel is left. If there is like nothing, it makes a short hop and then burns out. If there is to much, well, going to water I guess
  3. Hm, would the S1 have managed the transition from a water trajectory to the one to the pad if it spins? Can the engines counteract it effectivly ? Single Engine burn, so no roll control
  4. And it looked like the problem was only regarding landing phase, so it may be not even a problem for normal launches
  5. Well "normal" landing , just not in the right spot
  6. After a second look on the video of stage 1, the two grid fins in view tried to correct the roll the right way. Question is now: what did the other two fins that time and why has the S1 started rolling at all? Could it be because of strong winds?
  7. oh man, I could feel the wobble of the first stage from my ksp "landings" I think the stage 1 decided it couldn't make it safely to land and went into water for safety of ground builds
  8. Lets look if the clouds like me today, maybe I can get pictures of the burn
  9. They have no coverage of downlink of the second stage over the ocean, so no video
  10. In the last few seconds of the video, is the second stage (the middle booster) tipping to the left? Does not look good (play at 0.25x speed)
  11. Small question: Is there even a way of drilling a hole in Space (on the ISS)? I know they have "screwdrivers" for EVA's, but is there a suitable drill head for that ?
  12. There are structural enhancements in the FH core, which make it possible to handle the boosters. These are adding weight to the core and if you aren't flying a Falcon Heavy, you would just lose performance, payload mass and therefore money. So indirect yes
  13. First few pictures I took yesterday with my old telescope I've got years ago: First is Jupiter. You can see some cloud bands of you look closely Saturn. A bit blurry, but the rings are clearly visible:
  14. I guess they do it this way too, for the people who don't have MH / Mission Builder. It's fun nevertheless
  15. Here is my entry: No fancy music or editing, just the important things At 120% entry heat Was really hard to get Jeb not exploding all the time, that's why I needed to slow him down enough ( shielding by a heatshield or bay doesn't work)
  16. Huh, these little guys are more fragile than I thought
  17. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED even if I'm not the intentioned person
  18. When the exposure time is too high , even a half moon apears as a whole. Would be possible if you want to see the engine
