CatastrophicFailure Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 That video is incredible! Is the big puff there stage separation or is that the break in the contrail? Yup, that’s gonna freak so many people out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinator Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Was a landing burn ever announced? As far as I remember there was video of a boostback burn, announcement of an entry burn, some jabber right around S2 cutoff that was drowned out by the announcer, and a splashdown confirmation.

Brotoro Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Really, the parts that interested me most were the stage one callouts in the background...which announcer boy studiously ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brotoro, I don't think they ever had any intention of recovering stage 1 this time. That launch sure did wake up the neighbors in LA tho'... -Slashy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSEP Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Wow, i really thought Elon was drunk tweeting when he said he was going to send a Tesla to Mars. He said in an interview that FH will explode, so what if he does this, something completely bogus, because he knows its not gonna work? Question Mark?

I think he expects the FH will explode because of difficulties with so many engines , but they doing anything that this is not gonna happen.
