Lousy weather. Rocket disappeared into the clouds within seconds :v:
Loving the stage 1 cam.
Nailed it.
Landing successful!
Bloody beauty! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dEeO943.png[/IMG]
Dragon successfully deployed.
They make it look so easy.
It's still hard to realise that the booster is like the height of the statue of liberty, dropping from space and landing.
what a landing!
Arrays deployed.. looks like a complete success pending ISS berthing in a few days.
[QUOTE=Morgen;51844850]Arrays deployed.. looks like a complete success pending ISS docking in a few days.[/QUOTE] Is the international adapter on? Will it be an assisted docking?
[QUOTE=Bradyns;51844855]Is the international adapter on? Will it be an assisted docking?[/QUOTE] Cargo dragon is always berthed, never docked.
[QUOTE=OvB;51844863]Cargo dragon is always birthed, never docked.[/QUOTE] I thought the plan was to move toward docking - or is the preference of a human at the helm to interface with the station. O Captain! My Captain!
[QUOTE=Bradyns;51844874]I thought the plan was to move toward docking - or is the preference of a human at the helm to interface with the station.[/QUOTE] Docking is with Dragon 2. OvB is correct that Dragon 1 is still berthed.
[QUOTE=OvB;51844863]Cargo dragon is always birthed, never docked.[/QUOTE] You mean berthed?
The Strongback throwback at liftoff was awesome, too bad the SpaceX stream didn't show it well. [video=youtube;mzEloqzys3Y]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzEloqzys3Y[/video]
[QUOTE=BlackPhoenix;51844929]You mean berthed?[/QUOTE] Yeah that. I was tired.

Watched the halt yesterday and then I completely forgot about this, damn. Nice to see that they're still sticking the landing.
I slept in considering the weather in Florida was suppose to be shit I thought it would be scrubbed watching it vanish into the cloud layer just above the pad was pretty cool though
I want someone to make a gif of the onboard camera from launch to landing. Hopefully Musk will post it once they recover the data. The stream was a bit dodgy.

[QUOTE=Morgen;51845606][video=youtube;glEvogjdEVY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glEvogjdEVY[/video][/QUOTE] Is this the first time they've landed back on land, rather than on a barge?
This is so fucking exciting
[QUOTE=Instant Mix;51845645]Is this the first time they've landed back on land, rather than on a barge?[/QUOTE] No, their first landing was the RTF Orbcomm (OG2) in Dec '15 which was an RTLS landing at the same pad LZ-1.

That landing looked so futuristic, and calm. I was kinda surprised at how fast the whole thing was.
[QUOTE=Morgen;51845606][video=youtube;glEvogjdEVY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glEvogjdEVY[/video][/QUOTE] I can't wait until this is as routine as watching planes take off or ships come in. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] I can't wait for this to be mundane.
[QUOTE=Instant Mix;51845645]Is this the first time they've landed back on land, rather than on a barge?[/QUOTE] Would just like to add that this is the third time. OG2, CRS-9, and now CRS-10. I completely forgot about CRS-9.

[QUOTE=Morgen;51845606][video=youtube;glEvogjdEVY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glEvogjdEVY[/video][/QUOTE] Is that actual footage? Something about that is breathtakingly beautiful.
