It would be nice if they would release the non-streamed high-quality stored footage from past landings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdude Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Great landing! I believe they also slipped in a couple of frames from the second stage fuel tank cameras during engine cutoff, if anyone else caught that.

ExtremeSquared Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Another fuel tank cam view at T+9:15 More footage that would be cool to have access to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB-70A Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I didn't went to Port Canaveral due to the current order, so I tried to catch B1051.4's ascension from my place 60 km/38 mi away from Pad-39A. It was interesting to see how "pitched" Falcon 9 appears to be from this perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like is no design flaw, just someone who forgot "that switch" or something like that ( in the last years at least, not counting the dm-1 capsule explosion) You mean like, "the capsule had the wrong internal time set on the clock"?

sevenperforce Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Falcon 9 has now surpassed Atlas V for the number of successful launches. Detractors can argue that the supposed cost savings of reuse have yet to materialize, since SpaceX isn't showing its internal financials. But it's hard to argue with the time savings of refurbishment and reuse. There's no way they could have hit this launch cadence using only brand new Falcon 9s. It's why RocketLabs is seeking to do the same thing...not to cut costs, but to increase cadence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all you have are the sausage casings, with no sausage filling shipped from Russia, then all you really have is an effective enema. EDIT: Shocked that the filter allowed enema.

Upd. So, SpaceX is still launching sats with man-rated rockets. A sat-rated rocket would be cheaper.
