I have to admit it was pretty cool to hear that lady Marine making call-outs even while fighting the g's.

Possibly second first stage to make 14 flights....and the first with a commercial/customer payload.
Delay it for two weeks if needed to have a successful flight. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AmericanPeople: I want to see more video. They should have captured the first stage re-entry burn. They said it landed 600km off the coat of Florida. It would be pretty hard to get the re-entry burn at that distance. I can give you pics of the contrails with the sun hitting them after launch but it is almost potato quality.   |

I need to see if anyone on land saw the jellyfish as well as from the drone ship. Since the drone ship was over 600 kilometers east, it was past sunset for that location. I will try to determine sunset and civil twilight times for the drone ship.
Based upon ASOG being located about 643 kilometers east of the launch site I get an approximate location of 73.967 degrees W longitude and 28.6 degrees N latitude. That is 6.5 degrees degrees further east of the Cape and allowing four minutes earlier sunset for each degree sunset was about 28 minutes later than at the Cape so it would have been much darker at the drone ship and thus the jellyfish was much better from that location. |

But with the low humidity the sky was real clear, you could see the fairings separate and falling from the second stage. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AmericanPeople: I need to see if anyone on land saw the jellyfish as well as from the drone ship. If the gap in the contrail in the image above is the same gap as in the still shot from my video then I saw the beginning of it from Melbourne. After that point it all just blended into the gray sky. The jellyfish look will only happen if you are east of the rocket.   |
