Cross thread posters should be blown out the airlock 2bh

What the FUCK did he mean by this?

>Iridium-3 launch
That one is over

The thread was still going strong

Now you have split the party and caused utter chaos

It is a total catastrophe

I...
I'm sorry...

>suddenly remember this

OH SHIT!!!

>36mins left

WEW MADE IT!

Now that I'm here, if this launch works, it will be the first I've seen that did work. I've literally not seen it work ever during a live broadcast. Every damn time I'm here to see it, something blows up or it is rescheduled. I want to see it land on one of the drones.

They said the weather was nice on twitter
and they have had no explosion in 2017 so far...

>T -00:30:00 mins

Get hype!

...

Yeah, I keep missing stuff or it ends up being an ISS run with no landing other than a splashdown.

>former engineer

What did he mean by this

explode

Well that sinks it. Clearly you are the curse and we will not have a launch today.

SOON

Falcon Heavy when

DREAM ON, MARS MAN

Weather at the drone ship looks shite

Might have trouble landing this one lads

STORMY SEAS
HOLD ON TO SOMETHING

WHERE IS THE TECHNICAL LINK???

When they get LC40 working again so they can finish upgrading 39A. Probably late November or December if no other fuck-ups happen.

>tfw

no technical

Exactly what I was thinking.

Have they ever tried to land one in shitty weather before?

>oh

>technical

His engines are ready, clamps weak, fuel is heavy
There's icing on his panels already, Elon's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to lift off
But he keeps on forgetting, when he'll touch down
The launch pad goes so loud
He opens his valves, but the thrust won't come out
He's choking how, ULA's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
Snap back to reality. Oh, there pulls gravity
Oh, there goes Falcon, he choked
He's so bad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't orbit, he knows his whole back's to these loads
It don't matter, he'll cope
He knows that but he's broke
He's so sad that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile pad, that's when it's
Back to the VAB again

...

Bretty good

BROUGHT TO YOU BY AIRBUS

>tfw my worthless shitty fucking Xfinity internet is making my stream lag so I can't watch it

Fucking comcast! Goddamn it

anyone else getting echo in the audio?

btw all that smoke comming from rocket before launch is only for show.

Dream on, space man.

You probably have two copies of the stream running?

Wow, the static shot of it taking off was amazing

Found it, it was the embed at the top of the thread. lol

Anyone making a webm?

>65,697 watching now

damn

trying, waiting for landing, got the take off but with a mess up like it had buffering errors

I bet it will cut out and can't see anything when landing.

shieeeet that was coming in hot

Anyone else's streams laggy and shitty as fuck? Mine is stopping every 5 seconds or so

WOWOWOW

REKT

1st Stage coming in too hot

Lost the camera link after sparks were seen

Is stage 1 kill?

>feed lost
wow let me guess its nothing

It's kill

press F to pay respects to S1

FUCKING NAILED IT!

YEEEEEEES

WWWOOOOO it landed!

I call bs.

It landed boys, another successful landing

Nice render

FAKED

...

SHIIIIIT
I thought Stage one was kill

Damn they pulled that one back from the brink

Literally can't stop winning

...

Why did it go from day to night in an instant?

I call
RIGGED

delet this

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

Anyone has webms of the reentry? That was intense

Other side of the world.

Where did these people who claimed that "even if you got the rocket back for free on the pad it wouldn't be economically worthwhile"

They said the coast of florida

...

Saved

INCOMING

I haven't even reviewed it yet.

MARS ON, DREAM MAN

Right here

Every successful rocket landed is one more nail in ULA's coffin.

I can't wait for the day ULA goes under. It will be delicious.

Why is the sky so dark at the drone ship site?

It's 3pm in Florida and the drone ship is only a short distance away off the coast

It is dark here in the Easy now.

its 7 pm retard

Nigga, It's 7pm there now. Sun's long since gone down

It's 7 PM you idiot.

>3pm in Florida

6:53pm when it launched. It's dark now. Overcast makes it look completely black where I'm at.

it's 1 pm you smart person :)

I wish they had another droneship just for cameras right near the landing droneship.

No, it's 4AM, time to make the donuts.

What's the benefit of the droneship?
Safety?

Surprised they don't already, since every single landing the camera cuts out.

Looks like Fred has seen some shit while working for a mob boss and decided to go into business making donuts instead, but the horrors and faces still won't go away.

That, and it's less distance for the spent stage to have to travel back. It's easier to land it on a drone ship at sea than guide it back to land which is further away

It is designed to be a stable platform in all but the roughest of seas. With no humans nearby to worry about getting hurt.

Some of the older ones have a helicopter a long ways away recording them.

For street cred.
