sevenperforce Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I'm guessing the other cameras are all completely kaput. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenperforce Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 No visual signal but telemetry is still sending. Says that it is through re-entry MaxQ. If these engines light back up again I'm going to be SHOOK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codraroll Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Ooh, a slightly softer pink in the upper left corner, that suggests the metal is cooling a bit, isn't it? It's past max-Q, past Mach 2, so now it might be easier to get telemetry, but it's night-time where it splashes down, so it could be hard for the cameras to catch anything that isn't on fire.

sevenperforce Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 That was absolutely breathtaking. Wow. I really really have no words. I can't believe that flap held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codraroll Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 And we had footage practically all the way down! That's incredible! Well, except for the quiet and peaceful coast phase through space, I guess. But to put it like that, I know which 15 minutes of mission footage I'd rather miss out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying dutchman Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 The fact that it made it through reentry with half a forward flap is absolutely amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 i guess i made it in time for the re-entry. how did superheavy do though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavio hc16 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 HOLY excrements. this showed in full force the redundancy and how well built it is...it actually pulled off even with a flap missing. We have got the A10 of spaceship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have got the A10 of spaceship You got one of my few remaining upvotes for that Warthog reference. Clearly a good decision to go with four flaps instead of just the two of the original design.
