45 min coast phase...
I think debris took out the on-board camera, then, as usual, the drone ship's camera blacks-out during the actual landing. Isn't that because of more than just the thunder from the engines? |

Looks like they stuck the landing again.
I don't think that's ever going to get old, watching those things take off and land. |

Lots of vibrations = bad for a satellite link. Once the ship stops rocking a bit, the link usually comes back.

That 3 second burn was pretty intense.

I...don't know what to think about that. They just kind of float off in a big blob.

Yeah, I was sorta expecting them to "launch" them like torpedoes or something. Just giving them a push and saying "fly free" wasn't what I was imagining.

Awesome
Btw you can rewind the live feed if you missed launch. That’s what I did |

My son has been working with NASA in Goddard, Maryland and is currently on a program to replace the Hubble Telescope. He mentioned last week that it's so overbudget it might get scrapped that NASA has a bunch of programs running right now and the President is allocating more money to NASA than the past regime.
I personally, would like to see another manned mission to the moon 50 years on. if they're serious about Mars, they gotta re-do the runs the to moon, at least. |

As for moon missions, they're definitely coming. I'm still a little skeptical that NASA will get there with SLS, but there are enough entities working on it these days that someone will get there in the next 5-10 years. |
