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.
 
They aren't going to land on the deck like the booster? What a let down!
You have to love the Valley Girl
 
Blackout until 2:42 EST (the only time that counts at all, they keep using UDT)

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.

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

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