drhay53 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm sure Jeb snuck in there at the last second when everybody thought it would be an uncrewed mission, and now they'll have to launch another Falcon Heavy for a rescue mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAL59 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 When is TMI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhay53 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 In all seriousness though, I got major goosebumps when the side boosters landed within a split second of each other. It's a bummer they seem to have likely lost the core, but my expectations going into it were "I hope they don't blow up the launchpad" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reactordrone Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The core must have been close to landing with the amount of smoke/steam over the deck of OCISLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softweir Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Bits of stuff from the second stage, I guess. Maybe particles of O2 from the ullage bleed-off you quite often see pompoms of O2 ice on the MVac during the coast phase of a launch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
