CatastrophicFailure Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 1 hour ago, JoeSchmuckatelli said: How galling it must be to have worked so hard on something like this - and then know it is gonna be a reef. No more galling, I reckon, than putting together SN16 and find out it's not going to do anything interesting. Compensation is, they get to watch this sucker take off, in the flesh. Best seats in the house, I'll bet. And then they get to do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michal.don Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Is it just a weird camera angle, or is the tower slightly leaning to the right? I really hope the first one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope the first one.... In the image above, it and the booster are at the same angle - so most likely due to the camera lens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
