works just fine.

It didn't for me,though, as illustrated by the screencap.

Good news is, my life is great either way.

Will be first attempted fairing recovery too

You can stop trying so hard, sweetie. Nobody cares.

Any info on how they plan to accomplish that?

they should try landing the second stage of the rocket

Looking around on the ground, I think.

Yea, and when they got that, they should try landing the payload!

Parachutes, and helicopters to grab them with hooks before they hit the water

At that point, you might save the fuel all together and just not launch it at all
>ELON CALL ME, I'VE FIXED IT!

>fairing recovery

Seems like a waste of time imo

Doubt the fairings are that costly in the grand scheme of things

They're probably doing it to cut down on time between launches. Since manufacturing fairing halves might take take more than their planned time between launches.

T-02:40

Manufacturing new fairings has gotta be faster and cheaper than recovering used fairings and refurbishing them?

Can't see the logic m8

Got here from 4chans front page, Never posted on Veeky Forums before. Is Musk launching a rocket? Are they livestreaming it?

Here's the hosted webcast, there should be a non-hosted as well but i cant find it

Thanks

If you are interested, there is an app called Space Launch Now that will alert you of launches, give countdowns and links to livestreams.

Each fairing costs like 2-3 million to make plus they are the current bottleneck in their production line. Recovering them would save them a good chunk of the rocket cost.

I really want to see a recovery attempt of these. Just to see what kind of whackadoodle solution they have gone for

they are just gonna attach parachutes and let them fall into the ocean
Won't be anything elaborate

Hell yeah. They're sending him back to the moon.

Hurry up and wait.

>fairing recovery

I thought they were going to use a fairing that wasn't ejected? It just opens then closes and returns. Like get rid of the fairing completely so to speak.

>they are just gonna attach parachutes and let them fall into the ocean
They're catching them with helicopters.

WTF are they thinking?

Somebody add what actually happens to this webm

Holy shit, are they really going to try and recover the fairing on this launch as well?

It's a shame they can't recover your oxygen

sorry what's that, for non-english speakers?

What? The fairing recovery method is pretty wild. It'll be fun to watch if they show it:

I'm here, so it will probably explode if it is to land somewhere. I've yet to see a live successful landing. They either abort or something blows up.

Dream on, Mars man

this will be their most difficult landing yet

the last satellite launch for this company caused a giant hole on the deck of the barge

Dream on, mars man

The fairing is the aerodynamic cap of the rocket that protects the payload from drag during launch. It's usually jettisoned after the rocket leaves the bulk of the atmosphere.

intro starting!

It will explode doesn't it.

So, if it bricks we know who to blame.

oh shit nigger what are you doing

First it's 'won't it'

Second shut the fuck up

SLS is basically a job creation program. The heaby launcher is just a bonus. It's win win

YES

Also they said they'd say something about what they did to prepare the reused Falcon, so you might want to open the hosted webcast in a second window.

Second stage currently isn't recovered, so making the fairings remain attached to the stage would not help them be reused.

The plan right now is pretty simple, the fairings will fall through the atmosphere and deploy chutes.

She can reuse my rocket if you catch my drift.
