There is such a thing as going to far...
Ship is finally back in port. There are tons of pics out there in the usual places (and a whole time series being updated here), but here are a few good ones: Also, live video from the Port Canaveral Webcam here: http://www.portcanaveralwebcam.com/ Last edited by DaFace; 04-12-2016 at 08:41 AM.. |

Lots of cool shots of the landing up on the SpaceX Flickr page.

I don't think so. Even the pictures back at port show a lean. I bet one of the landing "feet" was damaged during the landing.

This shot isn't anything new really, but I love having the workers in there for scale. It looks so small when it's all alone on the launch pad, but not so much.

Is that a rocket between your legs...?
Full video of it coming down here: The exciting part is all in the first 5 minutes or so. After that it's been hours of lowering it down and clamping it in the cradle. Last edited by DaFace; 04-18-2016 at 02:07 PM.. |

Also, next launch is a late night (12:22 a.m. Central), so I may have to catch the replays in the morning.

Interesting that they took a bunch of engines off of the other one. I know they never intended to re-fly it, but still. ----- Adding to prevent a bump...here's a cool new Android app to keep track of launches (not just SpaceX). Schedules, notifications, etc. Pretty sweet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...spacelaunchnow Last edited by DaFace; 04-20-2016 at 04:56 PM.. |
