The physicality of all that - wow! I was thinking "There is no way it's going to survive that acceleration, it's going to crumple" and "It's going to splash into the water at 1000 km/h like a pencil" simultaneously.

Codraroll Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Woo, cameras are back! Not the same camera, it seems, but a camera, and that's something. And The Blue Danube is still going. Not half bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenperforce Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Just now, cubinator said: Heatshield pointing INTO the airstream, good sign Definitely better than the aternative! I'm keeping a close eye on speed. Altitude is dropping but speed is still increasing so there's no meaningful drag yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenperforce Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Impressed by how stable it is. I can barely see movement at all -- only the very slowest adjustments show me that it's not just a frozen video. Speed is starting to drop. Gorgeous plasma sheath. Keep in mind that the main camera is mounted on the forward flap, so the lack of movement means that it is very very stable.
