Here's a previous landing for comparison.

Yep, I just did the same comparison. I think you're correct.

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, September 24 for a Falcon 9 launch of 52 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 7:32 p.m. ET (23:32 UTC), and a backup opportunity is available on Sunday, September 25 at 7:10 p.m. ET (23:10 UTC).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched SES-22 and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.

I was down in Orlando a couple of years ago and we went down to see a launch. The scrubbed it with like 5 seconds to go in the countdown... I was so disappointed.

Pretty sure I saw an alien base on the surface right before it hit.

RINGLEADER 09-27-2022 09:35 AM

Also, do we know yet if it changed the trajectory any?

It'll take a month or so to be able to tell.

GloryDayz 09-27-2022 11:08 AM

If they turned it into a curveball and it's headed for us, I'm going to be pissed.

Crew-5 T-30:00

SpaceX and NASA are targeting no earlier than Wednesday, October 5 for Falcon 9's launch of Dragon's fifth operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-5) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window opens at 12:00 p.m. ET, 16:00 UTC, with a backup opportunity available on Thursday, October 6 at 11:38 a.m. ET, 15:38 UTC.

The Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission previously flew Crew-3 to and from the space station. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew will conduct over 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations in areas such as human health and lunar fuel systems.

The webcast for the Crew-5 mission will go live about 4 hours before liftoff.

It's looking like a beautiful day to watch a launch.

Donger 10-05-2022 09:59 AM

Looks like the Falcon is rocking a little.
