Brotoro Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 MECO. Let's see if they can stick the booster stage landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenperforce Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 And it all made it into orbit. Damn. Now everything else meaningful is either dependent on RL-10 (which, let's face it, is almost as capable as Merlin 1D) or hypergolics. Feels like that surge of energy/relief when an old rickety car you haven't started in 18 years manages to roar to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCgothic Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 It was really weird to me that the second stage didn't light immediately after staging! Perigee raise manoeuvre in a bit, followed by TLI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHACK4142 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Welp, looks like SLS launched before KSP2... I wonder if @whatsEJstandfor bet any kidneys on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotaru Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Incredible. I can't believe they actually launched it--and after all those delays, leaks, waivers, etc. it actually worked! I honestly thought it would never fly--just have one failure after another till it ended up in a museum. Didn't even know it was going up today, just signed on at T-7 minutes by complete accident. Bizarre. It's kind of a stupid rocket, but if it gets us to the Moon I'll never say another word against it. Hoping ICPS and the service module work as well as the SLS core did!

Brotoro Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Perigee-raising burn. It's like they are playing KSP. ...and NOW it's in orbit. Interesting view from the camera on the solar array wobbling during burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
