Westsail (OP) Metta User ID: 64616416 United States 05/22/2018 04:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not today it’s an old block 3 and no longer being recovered to make room for the new titanium finned block 5 boosters. Hopefully we get an update on that fairing recovery though! Imaging trying to catch something falling from the edge of space. Truly far out!

Westsail (OP) Metta User ID: 64616416 United States 05/22/2018 04:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why did they cut the live feed for the sats deployments while continuing to broadcast? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75748350 Because of expected loss of signal. Downlink signal just reacquired. We’re less than 5 minutes from second engine startup. Will be live again as they position the spacecraft for Iridium deployment. Last Edited by Westsail on 05/22/2018 04:42 PM The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
