Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted May 30 Was so glad they were able to get the launch in today and not have to postpone it again. Loved being able to watch us restart our space program. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iroc_Jeff 0 Report post Posted May 31 i caught it right before i went golfing. Really cool coverage and that rocket landing on the ship was pretty sweet. Have to take a look at those space suits in more detail eventually. They look way different. Assume they aren't NASA suits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted May 31 I enjoyed it as well. It harkened me back to NASA's heyday when everything stopped for a good rocket launch. The one and only thing that bummed me out was not seeing the stage one rocket return to the drone ship pad. They had a shot of the empty pad and then it changed to the rocket sitting on it. I was hoping to see it actually come back down and land. Maybe I can find it on YouTube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted May 31 i watched numerous spacex launches and it seems they almost always lose the camera feed on the landing barge out in the ocean but it did stick the landing in the target zone it is an engineering marvel that they can actually land and recover that first stage section and refurbish it for the next flight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted May 31 I was a bit bummed about them losing the feed as well for the booster when it sat back down. That was one of the main things I wanted to see. If it happens all the time then I'm wondering if maybe the rocket sitting back down perhaps interferes temporally with the video feed or something.

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted May 31 It sure is an engineering marvel. I was hoping they would have recorded it coming all the way down just like when it went up. Good news is it looks like there will be plenty more opportunities to see it in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted May 31 They've shown the landings on the pads at the Space Center. And on the ship. We didn't see the launch yesterday, from our house ... too cloudy. But we DID hear and feel it. We live about 20 miles or so from the launch sites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted May 31 Just boggles the mind. Mike I had seen the first video, but never saw the 2nd one where it came back to the barge. That's the one I was wanting to see Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
