Draggendrop Veteran Share Posted March 4, 2016 S1 looked like she was landing port side...may have had too much velocity to correct 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites

Beittil Share Posted March 4, 2016 It loses vision like that every time, the incoming stage shakes the barge so much that the satcom link drops. 2 Share Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly their first objective is the job at hand. I think if they had a payload fail to reach its target but a S1 landed their would be all hell to pay. 3 Share Link to post Share on other sites

Beittil Share Posted March 4, 2016 Man, I hope they do a side-by-side on NSF or something in real time to show difference in liftoff speed between this launch and Orbcomm or something. Or maybe one of F9 FT vs F9 1.1 2 Share Link to post Share on other sites
