Ultimate Steve Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) People are clapping and screaming in the background. I think they're seeing something we're not... S1 impact? Fairing chutes?

sevenperforce Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Lovely orbit, great launch. Excited to see whether there is fairing recovery. Anyone know whether Go Searcher is out there? I haven't been over to NSF in a while so I don't know. I saw they kept the Stage 1 trajectory in view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrandedonEarth Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Congrats to the SpaceX team for another successful launch. That makes 6 so far this year, and three more have dates by the end of June, along with one that just says "June." https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/wiki/launches/manifest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatastrophicFailure Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 It occurs to me this is the first SpaceX launch that hasn't been delayed since the previous launch... am I right in that? Today was the day even back when NROL76 went up, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
