MinimumSky5 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Still, even then the moon could still be overexposed. Remember, it's so bright that if your eyes have become completely dark adapted, it can still hurt a little to suddenly look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinator Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 What the heck, I didn't even know there was a launch today. I have two school projects left to finish and got completely distracted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Shotwell said that they are on track for 24-28 flights this year, but next year will be more like 20, since there was a slowdown in new sat orders last year (order to delivery ~2 years). Guess the otherwise paid for labor can be used to work on BFR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Ok, so no landing attempt. I suppose they’d want to give all available dV to the payload, so little to no entry data acquisition either. Are they at least going to try to catch the fairing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you ask about: 1) The possibility of multi-day orbital tourist flights apart from the normal Earth to Earth stuff 2) How much the BFR has been stretched 3) Raptor development progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadly Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) There's a scheduled Falcon 9 SES12 launch on 31st of May. It'll use a previously flown booster stage. I wonder if it's the recent Block 5. Edited May 24, 2018 by Fadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
