That launch was one of the most unbelievable things I've witnessed. I was not expecting the plume illumination. I could see everything including the booster landing burn. My jaw was on the ground. So cool knowing four humans were up there, too.

Great feedback and pictures. The one burn noted as the landing burn may have been the first stage Re-entry burn.
SpaceX Kate mentioned seeing the re-entry burn but clouds prevented seeing the landing burn. Good data points for future launches. |

Pistol range separate from rifle range with 30 stations , main rifle range 100yds ~25 stations Two 200yd target stations (you have to shoot through a culvert though) Store is decent and it has good parking. Bring water though , it gets HOT. |

The spacecraft is moving at over 17,000 miles per hour and so is the debris. Closing rate of 34,000 mile per hour. No wonder they were ordered to suit up and CLOSE their visors (watched it live). Pucker factor was off the scale , both in the spacecraft and on the ground. That was WAY too close. |

Yeah the first stage burn seen on the way down is likely the re-entry burn.
The landing burn happens seconds before landing and the landing location is over the horizon from pretty much anywhere on land so it's basically impossible to catch the landing burn unless you were on a boat a few hundred miles out to sea at the time. |

A piece of 'debris' the size of a grain of sand put a nice pockmark in one of the Space Shuttles 'windshield'.
Velocity times mass squared and all that neat stuff. 100 feet is DANGER CLOSE. I'm too tired to google how many trackable sizes of space debris are up there but is 'astronomically staggering'... |

This was from a paint chip that was smaller than could be tracked.  Space-Shuttle Crew Respond To A Knock On Window We had to take multiple mold impressions from hyper velocity impacts. The mold would capture material left from the debris so the first 3 impressions would get sent to the lab and the next 3 were for damage size assessment. Almost always was man made materials. Had one impact to the payload bay door penetrated the exteral thermal blanket, the door structure and dented the backside of the radiator panel. It was smaller than could be tracked. Material samples from the thermal blanket and debris in the hole found it to be man made like PC board materials. It was common to find dents and crators in the radiator panels post flight. Took a few shifts to cover all that acreage looking for damage, most crators and occasional holes were less than .050" in size. |

Mars is a brutal, unforgiving environment. You'd have to be a moron to believe there won't be high casualty rates in the early phases of colonization. K2 has a successful summit to death ratio of 4 to 1, and people still attempt it. And that's for nothing but personal achievement and bragging rights. For the ability to participate in the first extraterrestrial colony in the history of our species? I'm sure colonists will sign whatever waivers are needed. |
