sevenperforce Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 WHOA holy mother of god that video of MECO, separation, and boostback ignition was incredible. This is the first time they have been able to maintain ground video the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenperforce Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Is it just the lighting, or do those grid fins look different? Elon said they were swapping them out for titanium. Love seeing the cold gas thrusters from a distance; it's way more puffy than I would have imagined. I think this is the first time they've maintained a feed of telemetry on the first stage. I love that; I am sure we are going to see a lot of new analysis for how the re-entry works. Coming up on entry burn in a few moments. We are going to get to see the rocket tail-first during the entry burn...really really good image. Only 80 km up. Oh wow. That is...magnificent. Good god that is an amazing sight. Landing burn started! Edited May 1, 2017 by sevenperforce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same! Also, LANDING!!!!!!!!!!! It's really weird: I'm an American but because I play KSP so much I prefer when they do the metric sidebar.

sevenperforce Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The SpaceX rep said they would inspect and prep this booster for reuse on this year's launch manifest; I don't know whether that was just a general statement or something specific.

Anyone in hard science feels the same way. I tuned in a few moments after liftoff; now to go back and watch that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
