~1 hr away.

Flare lit and siren sounding, so earliest possible launch is about 10 minutes from now.

Alternative view. Turn the volume down though as the guy is quite annoying.

Well look at that.

DaFace 08-27-2019 04:03 PM

Holy shit...that was incredible!

That engine's flame plume is crazy to watch. Looks so pretty.

It changed appearance right before touchdown, much brighter and more yellow. I'm curious to know if that was just a result of throttle change or if something else caused that, like ground interference.

Did you watch Tim's stream or just the SpaceX stream? Kind of hilarious hearing Tim scream with excitement. ROFL
