No boost back burns tonight.
Winds are slowly dying down, been blowing like a MF'er since the storm system cleared out this morning, clear as a bell right now. I'll attempt to record it if it doesn't scrub. |

Winds down to 16 MPH, very manageable for an 8:26 launch.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chokey: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvAMY1WWYAIgglU?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 Thanks Chokey. The flames from the core engines had a much different structure than normal. Of course MECO occurred around 116 kilometers versus 65 kilometers for a Falcon 9 launch. |
