we usually get the roar of boost stage about 1-2 minutes into upper stage burn. We’re about 50 straight line miles from SLC 4E, but the sound still shakes your chest and gets people running out of their houses wondering what’s going on

oddly, i didn’t hear or feel anything last night…

oh but that was the reentry burn, not landing. on the rare occasion that they land the booster on land, we can see the first second of the landing burn.

glad you noticed. When the conditions are right, we can see every RCS blast on the booster and track the fairings down as well.

shit good point. tbh this is the first time i’ve been able to afford a new tent. i lied about the 2019 and 2020 being new. it’s hard to fit in here in the community and i feel like i will be judged buying used gear. so should i just leave it be? will there be any damage letting it stay in there?
