Ultimate Steve Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Did anyone else notice the liquid raining down upon the cameras just before launch? Any idea what that was about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delay Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Dunno what happened there. I could swear I quoted the same post twice for comedic effect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that could've been condensed LO or something? Remember the huge white clouds before FH's first flight? Might be the same thing, but instead of looking at the fog from outside, you're inside it and you can see the droplets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they consider the vent a burn in this particular situation? No, if it was a propulsive vent they would call it a propulsive vent. I am sure it was a burn......as noted this had lots of margin. 12 minutes ago, RCgothic said: Capsule was only 2/3rds max lift-off weight. Loads of margin. Yes, but if you did a three-engine burn you could give the upper stage even more margin. 1 minute ago, cubinator said: Most likely the water suppression system firing up. That's what I wondered too but at the time I figured it was LOX condensation. 3 minutes ago, Ultimate Steve said: Also did they ever reveal what they are naming the capsule? bump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I think they might have named it "Dragon," hence all the confusion about if they named it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delay Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Not sure if I should be worried about a few things. A few things apparently were different from training. I know "wasn't part of training" does not mean "total malfunction" and that this is a new vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
