Camacha Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Do remember that the rockets can do some pretty wild turning at the last moment. The glow being off does not necessarily mean it has all gone awry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerBlammo Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think nasaspaceflight just melted after people posted rumors of a successful landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could just simply be because they know the rocket at least made it to the barge, which was pretty doubtful considering the tiny fuel margins they had on this mission.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Applause didn't sound large enough for a landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjee10 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I feel like if there were any news yet about the landing being successful SpaceX would be rushing to broadcast it on the webcast. I'm not going to get my hopes up just yet :') EDIT: Wow! That stage reignition was quite something Edited March 5, 2016 by benjee10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatastrophicFailure Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 So Jeff Bezos doesn't own this notoriously balky satellite that carries the barge feed does he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrandedonEarth Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 This is the last frame I saw.... Where's the kaboom? There could have been a barge-shattering kaboom! Actually, it could have made a successful off-center landing. I believe the software was changed to aim for "close enough" instead on "on the dot." (Or I might be thinking of New Shepard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the disparity earlier was confusing, as I had sound from one and sometimes switched to the view of the other. This is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
