benjee10 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Absolutely beautiful launch so far. Great footage of the plume expanding and fairing separation. Good luck to SpaceX for the rest of the flight & landing attempt (emphasis on attempt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacha Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 What kind of manoeuvre are they using to get to GEO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frybert Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 That was a lot quieter than I thought. There was almost no noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen_Heart Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Quality seems a lot higher this time. I think the Falcon missed. Edited March 4, 2016 by Frozen_Heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmeister Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Must've been a nice view from the cape. I'm all the way in Tampa, and I was actually able to make out the 2nd stage lighting because it's so clear..... OMG the landing video is such a tease!

StrandedonEarth Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Landing feed cut out, but what I saw before it cut out didn't look good. Glow looked off-center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WuphonsReach Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Was hard to tell how the landing went due to the camera feed quality, but it did look like most of the light was off to the left of the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjee10 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I feel like the camera cutting out is a poor omen for landing results... Awesome seeing the smoke/plasma trail behind the rocket after SECO though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
