And now we wait for 30 minutes for arguably the least interesting (but obviously most important) part...

This whole mission ends within 2.5 hours. I can't get to Vegas the quickly.

When will find out if the other parts make it back?

DaFace 03-30-2017 05:00 PM

Successful deploy, so 100% mission success!

(Webcast was a little iffy this time, though. Oh well. Can't complain.)

Tough to say. They haven't made a big deal out of the "roomba" or the fairing recovery, so my guess is those will just leak out as people start seeing ships coming back.

So, just parachutes and fish them out of the sea?

I'm just so stoked! I wonder if they try it a 3rd time?

They've been pretty quiet about it, so I don't think we really know how they're planning the fairings. Hopefully we'll see soon!

And who knows about reusing this one again. If I had to put money on it, I'd say no since they'll probably want to learn what they can by examining any additional stress damage, but who knows?

I wonder if they gave the payload owner of of SES-10 got a discount of any sort?

Summarizing a few points I've read on the interwebs:
  • Fairings had parachutes and thrusters, and they successfully directed them to a set point. Doesn't sound like they were "recovered" as in reusable this time, but it's a big step to make it possible in the future.
  • The "roomba" still isn't actually in action, so this one will be brought back the "old fashioned" way.
  • Falcon Heavy is currently "late summer" and will definitely use two previously-flown side boosters.
  • Doesn't sound like this booster will likely re-fly due to the historic significance. Elon suggested they might give it to Cape Canaveral to be displayed (like their one in California).

OP is updated for the next launch. However, it's a national security launch that is classified, so we'll have to see what (if any) coverage we get of it. My guess is that it will be a pruned down webcast at least.

Is Blue Origin fading out? Their site's last news seems to be from October.

Na, they're still plenty active. Apparently just not on their web site.

That's kick ass. I love the little hop.

The men and women who have made this happen are freakin superstars...

Like I tell "the bosses" (mostly people older than me!!!!), "Leave the kids alone! They're weird, just like you, but they're everything you ever wanted to be, and more!" This is confirmation...
