Nice to see them switch the audio though. Almost like a hybrid between their normal webcast and the technical cast.

And she's off! Pictures are gonna be great today.

That stage sep video was awesome!

DaFace 06-23-2017 01:13 PM

First stage has done its job! 2 for 2 on reused vehicles. Now we get to see if they can land it...

eDave 06-23-2017 01:14 PM

They are going to crazy if they land this one upright.

Donger 06-23-2017 01:18 PM

Miss?

DaFace 06-23-2017 01:19 PM

Whoa - landed it, but VERY off-center. Wonder if that will cause it issues coming back...

Donger 06-23-2017 01:19 PM

Landed! Just barely

eDave 06-23-2017 01:19 PM

Whoot. Off just a smidge.

Did you see the shoe of the water being kicked up?

Would have liked to have seen the roomba since we didn't really get to see any reentry and landing. :(

Looks like it slid a bit too.

Didn't see it, but now that I think back, I remember that the one that hit hard a while back and was leaning was reported to have slid all over the deck, so presumably they can still get it back even if the ship is really off to the side.

2 days until the next launch. Hope they succeed in the fast turnaround!

DaFace 06-23-2017 01:55 PM

Successful sat deploy, so all is well. I'll be curious to see if they can start reusing these GTO boosters - seems like they take a beating on the way back.

I will almost certainly be driving on I-70 between Salina and Denver on Sunday, so I'll probably miss the next one unless I can watch on my phone. Have fun without me!
