tater Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 No, that would suck hard. I think the computer became self-aware, and doesn't want to be thrown in the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, the ways people do autonomous driving/piloting, that doesn't seem that far fetched anymore. It doesn't have to be ASI to be programmed to try to ensure its own survival.

Spaceception Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 C'mon! My wifi isn't the best, so it'd be nice if it could just launch! I really hope it wasn't anything mission critical. I think they said the launch window was 58 minutes, starting at 7:36, does that mean delay until tomorrow, ooh, they're talking again.

And totally legal in Florida... and Floridians don't usually wait to the 4th.... they're popping off all over while I'm writing this... tomorrow will be nuts. Funny part is I counted like 15-20 bottle rockets and a couple large scale beauties blowing off before I read on my phone the launch was scrubbed... and if it launches tomorrow evening, I'm not gonna be able to tell it from the rest of the fireworks.

However, I do have a neighbor who does have a license for fireworks. I guess the bottle rockets are for premature celebration of the launch? All quiet on the eastern front.....

I'll try and get a video tomorrow.... of the launch that is. If it does actually manage to go up tomorrow night, and my phone's camera can pick it up at all from here. If so, I can guarantee the video will be interesting, to say the least.... and most likely very loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure you don't accidentally flag down any Trimaxion Drone Ships. ...and in a great irony they're saying North Korea just launched their own rocket.

If only it was Falcon Five, Then we could say "Falcon Five is Alive!" Nine almost works, but if the 1045 mission is expendable... Also, speaking of fireworks, it's legal to buy them in my town, but not legal to set them off. Also, I realized you can buy a HUGE bag (like, the size of a folded-up chair) for less than the cost of three "E" engines. Now, to go buy some, go out of town, find a huge open area (yeah, right) and fill my model rockets with fireworks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
