SarK0Y Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 i have just one QUESTION ==>> WHY???… WHY Musk has no taken money of the 1st stage landings. crowds-crowds of tourists/journalists would be pleased to watch those landings by their naked eyes & cam it as well. there seems up to several millions of usd per landing. $Oooooo, WHY?????… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggendrop Veteran Posted January 16, 2017 Veteran Share Posted January 16, 2017 Odds and ends.... -------------------------- Vessel Tracker Looks like tomorrow afternoon, PST... ------------------------------- ExactEarth AIS, shipping, will be on 58 payloads and the Aireon package will be on all payloads in the constellation. This is great due to 70% of the planet with no coverage, soon to be 100% coverage by mid 2018. Iridium has also stated that launch #3 and on may be around 45 days now, if launchers ready. See attached Press releases... Iridium Press Release Aireon Press Release Vandenberg Press Release This one is very interesting... Space Intel Report on Iridium Network ---------------------- Private coverage, great job at catching stage separation.... Image album image album 3 guys happen to catch SpaceX launch from an airplane http://mashable.com/2017/01/15/birds-eye-view-spacex-launch/?utm_cid=hp-r-1#VMPP0ly2VOqQ As a side note...members of a few other forums were present for the launch. Over a mile of cars parked on both sides of the highway outside the base and approximately 5000 viewers.....one complaint was that next time they need to bring milk crates for the young ones to stand on for eyepiece viewing on the portable gear...excellent...sounds like it was a great tailgate party....

I'd not long turned 16 at the time, and the memory of that day is as clear now as when it happened. In 1999 I had a chance to see the Shuttle launch again during my honeymoon (STS-103). I built up the nerve to go see it, drove down to the launch site with my misses, and the launch was scrubbed! By the time it was finally launched, I'd already gone home. I'm cursed! 1 minute ago, Draggendrop said: I would also like to see an F9, prefer a FH, but I am still enjoying the coverage....tailgate party would be fun.... It would be an awesome party...

DocM Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Pretty soon they'll have to add a flown count; F9-30-1,2,3,4.... Unobscured Vision and Draggendrop 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yep. I was wondering what format they were going to use for "flown" counts, like a little rocket under the serial number or something denoting how many times it has flown. @DocM's idea makes the most sense.

Unobscured Vision Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Now we're talking. Or even little rockets stenciled in under the serial number. Easy peasy. Draggendrop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just note, however, that this was core #29 flying mission #30. They're out of synch because of an earlier core swap. Draggendrop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beittil Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) As we speak the ASDS is in its final stages of approaching the LA harbor! Hopefully Facebook/NSF/Reddit teams will have eyes on the ground Image via NSF @vanoord Quote Pacific Warrior and NRC Quest are bottom right; the red box is around a ship berthed in the East Channel, where JRTI should be headed. Sarah C is the vessel just to the right inside the breakwater opening, so it looked like a good call she may be involved.
