Liftoff.
8th time on those fairings. Getting good at reusing them.

At a point midway between Andromeda and the Milky Way, you could see both of those galaxies and the M33 galaxy as fuzzy patches of light, with both Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies being brighter than Andromeda is as seen fro Earth. But in the voids between superclusters, you should be far enough away from all galaxies that no galaxy would be visible to the naked eye.

And another booster successfully lands. Nice booster shadow during landing.

Yes, but they decided to fly without those three engines. Now that they know how much side-slide you get with engines out on the same side, they can just abort a launch and not release if that happens again. So this is not an ongoing problem.

1 hour ago, sevenperforce said:
One of the cool things about the FH launch last night -- if you watch SES-3, it actually shows the velocity decreasing as the burn begins. That's because speed was being measured relative to the ground station in a geocentric coordinate system.
Ah! I didn't catch the SES-3 burn itself. When I checked back in they were releasing the satellites, and the velocity reading at that time looked way too low (I thought the display or units must be faulty). But geocentric coordinates with velocity relative to surface makes it all clear. Thanks!

I think they need a thrust stand where they can do full-thrust, long-duration test firings of Super Heavy stages to properly learn how to startup all those engines and see that they'll work properly for extended periods.

Coverage ends.

Don't know yet. Clock is now showing T-15 minutes

Falcon Heavy abort
Clock stopped at 59 seconds

Falcon Heavy is fully expended? That's no fun.

Looks like Falcon Heavy bumped 24 hours to Friday (so says YouTube link)

Looks like lost engines.

Go, baby, go.

My breath is on hold.

Weird looking 2nd stage nozzle. This is to save money?

FTransporter 7 booster successfully landed back near launch pad.

Stage one landed on droneship.
Nice clear droneship video
Orbit good.

And landed.
Interesting lingering shots of the booster on the drone ship at the end.
