tater Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Sea state is apparently pretty awful where recovery would be (3+ m waves) Opps, bumped the YouTube link: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatastrophicFailure Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 7 hours ago, Reactordrone said: Dragon 2 and Starliner use the IDSS ports rather than the berthing ports so the HTV delay shouldn't have had any impact on them. As I recall, the issue is crew supervision. They still need to make time in their schedule to monitor the approach and docking. Not the whole reason for the delay, but I think Musk mentioned it’s contributing. 9 minutes ago, tater said: Sea state is apparently pretty awful where recovery would be (3+ m waves) Good thing the rest of it is coming directly home, then.

cubinator Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 SpaceX is really starting to master their camera artistry on those webcasts...Rocket firing, panning across a star field? Yeeeessssss! BFR should have a couple little camera probes, to fly next to it and transmit awesome footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Scott Manley official: stages are henceforth to be referred to as things. Congratulations to SpaceX on successfully shooting their smaller thing into space and successfully recovering their larger thing. I bet their engineers can't wait to get their hands all over it.
