Yes, true. The Drone ship is normally at that distance from cost: But normally its between 266km and 370km, for example is last 58 Starlink satellites and 3 Planet SkySats its was at 600km and the record is 970km with Falcon Heavy center core B1055 in April 2019. The recovery crew team I don't know for sure, but I believe that I heard once 5km. Edited July 20, 2020 by pmborg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without having counted the pixels, it looks like 6 km to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you call pair of young ladies in this bizarro-schizo-language that is English? LOL). I hope crew filmed both fairings landing neatly in the nets - and we'll get to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems line an ironic spin on the old tradition of giving boats feminine names. Plural of Ms. is Mss.

zolotiyeruki Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Wow, that thing stuck the landing perfectly. I wonder if SpaceX have been refining their algorithms for the hoverslam, or if things just turned out nicely. Is it just me, or did the SpaceX logo on JRTI get painted over with a big black dot? I wanna see video of the fairing catches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elthy Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Its extremly annoying to see this stuff only in videos. Its mostly still images, only people are moving a bit. Is there a summary with just pictures somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who looks at most forums on my phone data (which is limited) it’s frustrating that video is the go to format for showing still pictures. All we need is a picture with a small write up underneath. I end up skipping most of the video content unless it’s important enough to remember when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Is it just me, or is that the same catch from two different angles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinimumSky5 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I don't think so. In the first video, the fairing lent over to the side of the net when the parachute was cut, but the second fairing lent over to the middle of the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
