That is a great video and works well as a companion to the book I am reading right now, The Moon by Oliver Morton.

Northrop Grumman makes history, Mission Extension Vehicle docks to target satellite me

They launched a a vehicle and parked it in the orbit where satellites that are decommissioned go. Waited for an opportunity, Docked with a sat put there in December when it ran out of fuel (even though it was not designed for docking) and put it back in service. Didn't even know they were working on this.

I wonder how many times things blew up when developing F1 and F9. Sucks it happens, but it won't be the last time.

DaFace 03-06-2020 10:29 PM

Bump. Also, from Elon:

Rocket will land in highest winds ever at Cape Canaveral tonight. This is intentional envelope expansion.

DaFace 03-06-2020 10:59 PM

Pretty cool visuals tonight. And hooray 50th landing!

GloryDayz 03-07-2020 01:23 PM

50th recovery, impressive...

Keep messing with space and watch what happens. They will come.
