Meithan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Longer video (with better quality too) just posted by SpaceX!! Just look at it fighting to remain vertical (and yes, those are indeed the cold nitrogen thrusters at the end)!!EDIT: video not public yet (and apparently taken down shortly after I posted), so I am removing the link. Let's hope they make it public very soon.For those who did not see it: it was absolutely awesome! They were so, so close!

Meithan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Let's refrain from posting unlisted videos and anything else that appears leaked, alright?Aaargh, I got carried away in my excitement and thought it'd be alright to post it since SpaceFlightNow shared it on Twitter.

VirtualCLD Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Let's refrain from posting unlisted videos and anything else that appears leaked, alright?I saw the video reported on spaceflightnow.com and it appeared official. How did you know it was leaked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airlock Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I saw the video reported on spaceflightnow.com and it appeared official. How did you know it was leaked?Wasn't aware of that. It was an unlisted video and SpaceX switched it to private very, very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt_flyer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) here's another video link, which is repertoried but wow, the explosion might have caused more damage than last time to the drone landing platform. (as the rocket landed on a side, looks like an almost full body slam on the platform)now, it's hard to say with the smoke if the rocket tilted or not towards the equipment boxes when it fell. like one spaceX engineer said, they falcon punched the drone ship and that cold gas nitrogen RCS fighting to keep the rocket upright ! soo KSP Edited April 15, 2015 by sgt_flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Coupe Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wow they were even closer than I had thought after seeing the first, short video and the pictures! Maybe next time they need to send Jeb up to land it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman703 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 After the last two times JRtI has been out and hit(by waves or rockets), I have little fear for it...Great video this time, much better quality as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yellow Dart Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wow, beautiful video! Can't wait 'til next try! I bet no one hopes for success more than the guys whose job it is to clean and fix and paint the barge. "How many %@*# rocket disasters do we have to clean up after!?"

Motokid600 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Incredible video. I didn't expect the crash to be so dramatic. Can we expect video from the barge itself? ( and audio ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt_flyer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think that will have to wait a bit, until the barge comes home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meithan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Incredible video. I didn't expect the crash to be so dramatic. Can we expect video from the barge itself? ( and audio )Elon Musk suggested on Twitter yesterday that they would release the barge video after the ASDS gets back to port, which should happen in the next 24 hours or so.

tater Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This was SO close. I wanted it to land, but I'm sort of glad since I told a bunch of friends that the day it lands, party at my house, and it was a school and work night. June 19th is a Friday, so even with a scrub and a 2d chance, I can have a better party if they nail it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leszek Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 SpaceX got a songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yypBjVpDJZYNow it seems that this video is blocked in my country (Canada) due to copy right concerns by SME. Is that the same for you guys? I am confused because the video was a parody and it was made my Cinesaurus. I wonder who SME is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elthy Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I could watch it for some time but now its blocked here in germany, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman703 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Blocked here in the US as well, a quick google tells me that SME is Sony Music entertainment. So basically copyright infringement of Uptown Funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
