Cheif Operations Director Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Flat earthers are going to say aliens abducted the 1st stage because the announcer misspoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they had the Starlink prototypes above the horizon? Or perhaps they oriented the barge such that the plume wasn't as much of an issue?

Brotoro Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 We got to see the flight just fine through second stage ignition...then it went in and out from behind clouds during second stage burn. But we did get to see the entry burn of stage one. Rumbling came about 70 seconds after liftoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think Moscow is worried other than the fact they have to stop ripping us of for seat of the Soyuz, Noginsk however why would they be crying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noginsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFastJellyfish Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Awesome launch. I had a roomful of non-space-nerds cheering. Go SpaceX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See procurement RFP №31806738240, there’s a lot of juicy info for a request for heating units.

Ногинск-9, в/ч 28289 “Accidents” happen, especially at opportune times, and I’m sure a spur-of-the-moment attempt at discrediting the US space program is worth an old satellite.

RealKerbal3x Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I missed the launch because I was asleep At least I was able to catch up on Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNM Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I might have missed a few important stuff in the news about this, but : - Did this launch carry any cargo up, and returns cargo back later ? - Do they plan for a faster rendezvous procedure ? Also, was it just me, or was the technical livestream not working ? 4 hours ago, Mad Rocket Scientist said: But how many football fields tall is the Falcon 9?

Even if Roscosmos shared their trajectories (big if), those trajectories would be adapted to an inclination matching that of the ISS.
