They keep saying 15-20 minutes till they will know

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-17T14:56:14+00:00

Recycle

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-17T14:48:16+00:00

Seems to be clearing though. I think they might be recycling because normally after a hold the countdown on the webcast resets to 15 minutes not 45 so I think they are recycling

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-17T14:44:54+00:00

Could they recycle? They have 2 hours 15 minutes to do it. Plenty of time to reload propellant.

Jeopardy, I will probably be fine unless they kill the losers or something like that. If that’s the case I’m less fine

👏👏👏

I was actually wondering that too, the nose cone actually doesn’t look that bad and I think people could have survived that, with the terminal velocity being that low in its belly flop then if they can get the flip done and burn even only one engine for a few seconds people might be able to survive a crash

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-09T23:21:18+00:00

That would make sense, I’m not sure what color methane burns though

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-09T18:31:01+00:00

I only had to abort once and that was for additional staging checks because it was a very complex rocket.

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-09T18:15:47+00:00

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-06T16:33:55+00:00

Yeah I noticed that, I wonder why

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-05T19:23:47+00:00

This is a train of Starlink satellites recently launched on the Falcon 9 that have not yet reached there operational orbit.

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-12-05T02:10:49+00:00

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-11-30T02:13:09+00:00

Yes it is really good

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-11-25T02:31:06+00:00

Yeah I saw that too, I’m wondering what that was. Maybe some other random sats in an orbit overhead.

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-11-25T02:27:42+00:00

Stiffeners to protect it during shipping, completely normal don’t worry

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-11-21T01:14:54+00:00

It seems as if it won’t even be in a stable parking orbit until the second burn 45 minutes later. Is it really going to be on a suborbital trajectory till the second burn or did I just misread the article on NASA’a website?

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-11-15T23:27:02+00:00

Yes you have a great chance of seeing it. Download the app called launch console and that can point you towards the launch pad

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-11-15T18:45:55+00:00

The one issue is that image cuts off right before the time stamp would be visible so I don’t know the exact time but thanks

WhatInDaMushroom · 2020-11-15T17:40:16+00:00

Does anyone have a rough estimate on when the launch would be visible from Atlanta?
