Brotoro Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I came to Florida for a convention, so I got to see The SpaceX DM-1 liftoff. I originally planned my travel to include some extra days to increase my chances of getting to see a liftoff...and I see now from a Port Canaveral webcam that the booster has come back into port... so I'll head on over to see it.

Brotoro Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Very nice. Overcast and cool today, but the view through binoculars is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't count as a crew vehicle. My original point was merely that Dragon 2 is the first orbital crew vehicle launched from American soil since the Shuttle. Orion on Delta IV Heavy didn't count, to me, because it's not an all-up test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brotoro Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 We wandered off to do stuff for a while, then came back to check on progress. The crane cap is on top, and the octagrabber robot and base wrap have been removed (so now I can see the engine nozzles). I'm not sure what they do next... fold up the legs? I guess I'll come back later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brotoro Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 While I was off wandering along Cocoa Beach, they lifted the booster off of the drone ship and swung it over to shore. No leg folding or removal first. I guess they'll do that later. The previous pictures were taken from the parking lots of some bars/restaurants on the south side of the barge canal. We drove around to see what kind of shots could be had from the north side of the canal... we could get up to some fences and shoot through them.

CatastrophicFailure Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 SFN saying ArabSat 6 (next Falcon Heavy launch) now delayed until April. Currently the next scheduled SpaceX launch, so that means nothing else in March at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
