CatastrophicFailure

Looks much less wrinkly. They must have used younger steel.

Finally, some good news! Also, CRS-17 delayed til May 1.

This: because... reasons... Followed promptly by this: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ka9Glv8EU02NIN4bQbAP9Z8_iox_EC4e4 Which doesn’t seem to work here.

Last night (this morning?) I dreamt I got to fly on a Dragon2. The details are a little, well, sketchy, and this is either interesting or terrifying based on certain recent events... But anyways, my flight got cancelled or something so I had to take the Dragon. Which was the size of a large room with big windows and all sci-fi-ey. I remember strapping into a seat but as these things always do, the dream went off on some weird tangent before I actually got to launch. And now I’m late for wherever it was I was going in the first place.

Choochoolu.

Yeah but they don’t have the cute little butt wiggle.

Today I released... ...wait for iiiiit... THE QUACKENS! (this was their first taste of "free ranging" while we set up a pen. Bad things happen when quackens go wandering about, after all... They remain unconvinced that pinecones are not food.

Or Boeing astronauts, FWIW. This sucks. Maybe they got lucky and it's just a piece of ground support hardware, not the D2 itself.

1:22 Monday night/Tuesday morning. Tempting... nighttime RTLS would be pretty awesome, and that’s not too far past my bedtime, plus I’m off Wednesday now that I think of it. Hmmm... this could actually work...

“Doctor, it hurts when I do this! *click*” ”Well then don’t do that. *clock*”

Here’s... um... lots of clicking...

I dunno, man, they look pretty beat up too.

What if it wasn’t a click, but a quack?

That would mean it was locked, tho.

You’ve not met our cats. They’re terrified of the guinea pigs and the bunny chases them all over the house.

Giant stations with big lasers never come out well in the end. Just saying. someone always be blowing up giant stations with lasers, yo...

You know, that guy... he makes electric razors or something...

So you’re saying... this, we do not speak of? All things serve the Beam indeed.

Like the other guys said. IIRC, this was mentioned way back in the early days of booster recovery, but since it hasn’t come up since then, and Falcon itself has become just a stop-gap to BFR, I’m guessing the idea was abandoned as too complicated and risky for the minor gains. After all, up until now recovery by barge had been working just fine (once they stuck the landings), and without OctaGrabber this was still an incomplete system.

We got a new RoboVac cat terrorizer. The cats are not amused. The ducks are suspicious. The bunny is confused. The floor is clean. We have dubbed her, Rosie Catsbane! Oh, and the guinea pigs are convinced it's edible.

So did the fact that he was basically on his deathbed and had a horrible respiratory infection.

Nothing new that I’ve seen. Might not get confirmation til it shows up at port.

and from low to high... I thought they welded straps over the legs? Maybe the sea and wind were just that high.

Attachments for the boosters get in the way, I’d imagine. They could probably didn’t bother modding Octograbber until they actually landed a core.

Not yet confirmed, but... Mother Nature.
