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

now the world is gone. I'm just one.

I was wondering why the girl was saying there was a HOLD HOLD HOLD call. Clearly an abort was called.

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. |

I want to see more video. They should have captured the first stage re-entry burn.
|
|
|
|
I hope that a lot of people saw that. The video I saw was incredible. Maybe someone got it with a higher zoom system.

I saw one of the 1st stage reentry burns from Cocoa, a friend on Merritt Isl. saw some of the lower altitude burns.
Sunsets are 2nd only to night launches. |

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. |
