Interesting times ahead With any luck the pie will expand to feed all-comers (mmmmm Space Pie ), although I haven't seen any plans for that which are much more than pie in the sky. Okay, I'll stop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out that the nose camera was on the thing, and they managed to salvage the SD card intact.) Think that the fairing was so intact also got them interested in recovering it. Damage was from impact with water and from getting beached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing that's happening in a few months is the FH demo flight. So I will expect delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartoffelkuchen Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think Echostar actually moved forward too before it was delayed again (if it wasn't echostar I am 100% sure there was a SpaceX launch moved left but then got delayed again but I don't really know which, but it's not that long ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
