Did they figure out where they are coming back to? Wasn’t sure if Florida was still good with storm.

So far the weather is within spec.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper, and basically no one is talking about this.

Martha fockers are astronauts.

Not being covered live by any of the major news channels either. Very disappointing.

Despite several attempts, I have never gotten free beer by entrapping mice in bottles. I have however killed several mice.

Yeah it does for me on refresh. The site is a little laggy for me, Austi must have tipped the feds off to my posts.

[Boss]

Did she say 17,000 mph of did I hear that wrong?



17,00 MPH to 350 mph to 16 mph.

 

[evernoob]

Did she say 17,000 mph of did I hear that wrong?

Yes. Slowing to 350.

I understood the re-entry speed was 16,500 but there's variable I guess, or they're just being approximate.

And these guys are in the 'blackout' window.... oh he just said we're about to enter the window, for 6 minutes.

 

[bigun]

They aren't going to land on the deck like the booster? What a let down!
You have to love the Valley Girl

 

[evernoob]

Blackout until 2:42 EST (the only time that counts at all, they keep using UDT)

Ha, that would be something. lol

 

[Boss]

The touch downs are just a better way to recycle the launch equipment, it's not the best way to land meat bags back on earth, not just a safety consideration but the 'g' dynamics as well.... which she's talking about right now.

You have a lot more room to land metal back on a barge if you don't have to worry about turning your meat bags into soup.

 

[Boss]

....and we have video!!

Sad isn't it? This is a really big deal. But I guess something EVERYONE can take pride in just isn't PC these days.

And as I'm typing this I hear Fox News in the other room covering it.

 

[evernoob]

Well at least they're using the term 'nominal' which is a signal that Engineers are on the job
