I really hope they have some planes out there to record the water landings.

I still find it insane that they are going to launch SN15 again. Awesome, but insane. SN16 and SN17 are right around the corner, so I hope we see them soon too. Looking forward to a less cloudy day for the next launch/landing.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting. I wonder if they'll do the proof testing before the next launch. And, I presume that they'll replace the landing legs?

I'm assuming that since it's on the pad again they've already done everything except a static fire. Since they don't do testing on the weekend, maybe we'll get a static fire and launch next week?

I was wondering if they are going to use SN15 a guinea pig for rapid reusability. As in, fill up the tanks and fly. Not cryoproof and no static fire.

Considering they don't have rapid reuse down on F9 I would doubt it, but then again I didn't think they'd launch SN15 again so I obviously have no idea! I Wouldn't skip the static fire at a minimum, but I'm not a water tower scientist.

Didn't realize how crooked it was just before it landed.
