Kryten Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think the reentry itself is a lot more damaging than the salt water to be honest. I think the outer shell will be toast either way, and it's not like the inside will be exposed to salt water.A couple of them have leaked, actually.

Airlock Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 If the launch is scrubbed today (let's hope it isn't), when is the next window?Thursday and Friday are the next available windows. Weather's not looking great for the end of the week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meithan Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 As of 3:15pm EDT, SpaceFlightNow is reporting:There are no technical problems with the Falcon 9 rocket or Dragon spacecraft reported at this point in the countdown, and the weather appears more favorable than for yesterday's launch attempt.Launch weather office Mike McAleenan says very few thunderstorms have developed so far with the afternoon sea breeze, and upper level winds are looking good. All weather rules are currently observed "go" for launch.Crossing fingers ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
