SpaceX launch in less than 30 minutes (18:42 UTC), a barge (sea) landing is planned
>The Jason-3 launch is targeted for a 18:42 UTC launch from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. If all goes as planned, the Jason-3 satellite will be deployed approximately an hour after launch.

Never met a Jason I liked.
Will it be kaboom?
>>52474665
>he fell for memex
>>52474720
except it's not a meme.
It starts!
>>52474717
2 possibilities: great fireworks or a great landing. In both cases, it's worth to watch.
Not gonna watch, someone be sure to make a good quality webm of the 'splosion.
Thanks
I like the SpaceX stream overlay, this whole thing is better than a NASA launch.
It's a go!
>>52474789
i like the spacex grill
<8^)
>>52474877
but there's that much fog you can't even see the spaceship.
>>52474877
hope it's not a kill
>>52474720
>he fell
ftfy.
bit foggy
>>52474665
I hope it blows up.
>>52475017
Up your ass frogposter
we did it reddit
just taken off, but how are we going to see anything through the fog m8?
LIFT OFF
it went up
let's see how it comes down
thats some KSP shit there in the second view
We did it again reddit!
fugg I was 3 minutes late... anyone got a webm of the launch?
>>52475167
The launch itself isn't so interesting.
>>52475167
rewind the video you idiot
landing incoming
Place your final bets, /g/
Why aren't they using Macs? Do they want to fail?

>>52475217
ty anon I didn't know youtube could rewind streams, never noticed tbqh.
>>52475247
It gracefully lands
video stopping, landing place go kaboom?
Fuck I love Elon,
If he asked me to suck his dick i'd do it, no homo.
It's the least I can do for mankind.
Fucks sake the camera on the ship froze at the most interesting part
>2016
>can't get a reliable video feed from a boat
>>52475247
It will fall in the water. They should have installed Gentoo on it.
>>52475300
It's so that they can fake it if they don't make it.
Stage 1 is dead?
>>52475167
>lost a signal
:^)
>>52475321
no? I think it went smooth, now it's the landing stage next.
I guess shit blew up
>>52475321
Would explain why the camera went out right as 1st stage was supposed to land
splash confirmed
>>52475269
fck u anon
anyone have a stream that doesn't require flash or whatever this youtube bullshit is?
something I can throw to mpv preferably
>>52475327

>>52475353

>>52475321
It crashed into the boat and took the camera with it.
>>52474665
>dolphin sounds in the background
Its the sound of lost drone ship.
>>52475335
it has already crashed or landed successfully like 5 minutes ago
music is gay as fuk
>>52475353
Youtube doesn't require flash.
>>52475367
thats what im thinking
They never expected to land this rocket honestly, it's the last of the 1.1 designed rockets, they were just using it cause they had it. Wait for next time for a more feasible chance of a successful barge landing.
>>52475369
45 min coast pal, stop lying
so is stage 1 confirmed kill?
>>52475378
live feeds do
>>52475369
but if it released the satellite just a few minutes ago, how did it already land?

I loved how the last time the cocaine buzzed staff manager said they will be ditching the drone shit and never use it again.

epic link
>>52475391
No confirmation yet. The video feed crashed just as the rocket was supposed to land. Could be an indicator for a crash.
The Seahawks are confirmed for crashing though.
didn't load for me on firefox so I opened it on chrome. They better record the feed on the droneship, motherfuckers.
>>52475401
No... It's going to take 45 minutes for it to reach the right orbit for the satellite.

So did it explode?
they are secretly towing another landing pad out to sea with a stage one already on it for good publicity
>better stream design than nasa
>better music than nasa
>better speakers than nasa
>>52475451
Dumbass, the stage 1 is recovered, the rest goes up.
It already landed, they just didn't said if it succesfully landed or it hit the water. Most likely it was destroyed
>>52475489
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHI60N7t-SU
>>52475520
Probably. They are not showing anything, so it probably did. At one point, a woman said "Loss of signal"
Did it ded?
>>52475520
>>52475451
oh so that wasn't the satellite that was released, I misunderstood I guess.. well, hopefully they get the video signal back before 45 minutes so we can witness the splash in the ocean.
>>52475528
imbecile
ok so that right there is the trajectory of the falcon 9 rocket, right? how has it not landed yet??

you are a special kind of idiot
>>52475549
NASA ain't even trying faggit
>>52475267
yeah it fell over.
Just tweeted: First stage on target at droneship but looks like hard landing; broke landing leg. Primary mission remains nominal
Casualty reports are still coming in, 12 million confirmed dead so far
>>52475530
Who are you arguing with dumbshit?
did a mckayla maroney
From the /sci/ thread.
>>>/sci/7791178
why is everyone so happy it failed? It's triggering me.
why doesnt it just deploy a gigantic raft and float

It is not a fucking ballistic exercise.
You are meant to land the thing.
YOU FAILED HARD AGAIN.

>>52475604
sorry that your shitskin brain can't even watch rocket launches without shitty soundtrack.
I don't even get how they want to compensate the ship rocking back and forth.
>>52475636
THE PRIMARY MISSION IS TO SET A SATELLITE INTO ORBIT YOU DUMB FUCK
>>52475564
they just said, it was hard landing and it broke one of the landing legs. but they hit the planned landing zone.
>it landed on its side
its called crash landed and the fucking thing failed
>>52475634
they should tape some floats onto the side of it or something, then if it fell over they could just wait a few minutes whilst it drifted into shore.
They maybe even could put a window so the astronauts can look at jellyfish.
>>52475653
Are you fucking retarded? I'm following both threads, if you didn't know in firefox you can open more than one tab at once. Kill youself faggot.
>>52474692
Funny cause I know two asshole Jason's. Plus the movie murderer.
>>52475672
We have been doing that since the 60s.
The primary mission is either develop a reusable 1st stage or go home and give back the budget to NASA.
>>52475698
FUCK YOU TO YOUR BOARD YOU AUTISTIC LITTLE SHIT
>>52475672
the only reason they are getting attention and financing is because they promised to make shit less expensive by landing and reusing, so far it didn't work. stay mad autist
>>52474692
>being named after a sandnigger state
lmao
>>52475710
NASA couldn't even put a steaming pile of dog shit into space with spacex's budget
>>52475717
It has already worked dipshit. You really can't expect 100% effectiveness on anything.
>>52475717
it's already cheaper you dumb fuck
Spacex is like fun playtime for engineers. They'll be obsolete as soon as someone else develops a working space elevator solution.
>>52475710
It's still a promising project. They tried to land it on a sponge this time.
>>52475768
/g/ is so retarded. /sci/'s version of this thread is much better, without dumb idiots.
My friend who works at Space X just told me the first stage exploded on impact.
I bet the sat deployment also fails.
>>52474665
>SpaceX
>Jason
hmmm
>>52475768
>THIS WORKING SOLUTION IS ALREADY OBSOLETE AS SOON AS WE DO SOMETHING WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO ACCOMPLISH YET OR EVER WILL
>>52475717
They've already had a successful landing of reusable rocket stage on another mission. They're not going to fail every time a first stage gets damaged on a landing.
>>52475710
No, primary mission is to deploy NOAA's satellite, landing is the secondary, since NASA is the contractor and they want their satellite in orbit. The landing falcon is for SpaceX themselves, so that makes it the secondary objective.
It is important to them, but they were hired to put the Jason 3 in orbit, not to land the Falcon

>I WILL ACT RETARDED NOW MAYBE HE WONT NOTICE
FUCK OF YOU STUPID FUCK
>>52476001
I'm sure they didn't make it do anything. The second the leg broke it would have fallen over and exploded when the tank hit the boat.
>>52476007
not trying to scare anyone but I'm pretty sure that's a bomb.
>>52476082
no way, I was just looking up shit like this on /adv/. Thanks based anon.

HAHAHHAH MEMES KILL SELF AM I RITE
FUCKING SCUM
>"lost video feed of drone ship".
Smooth landing.
>>52476150
I don't know what they be puttan in our water but that rainbow ain't natural eef you aks me, mmmhmmmh.
>>52476201
they actually intentionally cut the feed as they already had bad data suggesting failure
>>52476150
glad we'll be able to see another failure.
>>52476224
source? They post videos of the failures usually.
Welp it is over. Payload delivery successful.
>>52476246
source is his ass
It's over; space is finished.
>>52476252
god damn space is boring
The isotopes win it. Eat shit gommies.
the did it, they actually cut the stream?
i miss the old days when captain kirk would actually fight space
>>52476304
it's done, the satellite is in space. What else do you want, the hosts fucking on stream?
>>52476353
who cares about the satellite? I wanted to see the landing.
>>52476305
I miss having real prime universe trek movies and TV shows. JJartrek is such shit.
>>52476353
>hosts fucking on stream?
link?
>>52476264
its bad PR to show failure
it hurts the monie flow from investors
>>52476412
they showed the failed start before as well
>>52476427
well that is unavoidable
this was avoidable
>>52476412
They've shown failures in the past. Elon has even tweeted them.
A giant concrete barge floating up and down in 15 ft swells
How did they not see this happening.
>>52475676
>>52475675
So did it only broke its leg, or did the whole thing go boom?
>>52476688
they wont show it, showing a large fuel spill off the coast of california would get all of space x shut down really fucking fast
Has anyone seen this? Top kek.
>>52476776
If you can't cut it at NASA, you go to SpaceX
>>52476776
lmao
>>52476688
Rockets have a habit of going boom if anything goes wrong at all. Last one that fell over went boom instantly.
>>52476688
It broke its leg THEN boom.
you could have probably made a lot of money filming from a fishing boat nearby
they cant force you out of open waters
>>52476776
good idea, at a terminal velocity of several hundred m/s it would slam into the board so hard you could pick cork in china.
>>52476847
>they cant force you out of open waters
They can though. The surrounding area has to be cleared of boats in case one gets hit by a rocket.
>>52476847
i was thinking this too, space x is a private company not governtment related
>>52476885
space x has no control over the ocean buddy
>>52476872
made me lol
>>52476776
From Elon:
>Definitely harder to land on a ship. Similar to an aircraft carrier vs land: much smaller target area, that's also translating & rotating.
>However, that was not what prevented it being good. Touchdown speed was ok, but a leg lockout didn't latch, so it tipped over after landing.
>>52476885
the most they can do is advise you the area is unsafe, and may patrol a perimiter around the landing pad to instruct people to be clear. as they dont own the ocean, they cant really do anything to you.
>MemeX
>good
lmao. i'm surprised this one was successful, considering MemeX doesn't have a single clue of redundancy. hence why they will never measure up to the successes of NASA.
>>52476924
>leg lockout didn't latch
Not having servos to make sure they do.
This guy is nothing more than a glorified con artist.
russians launch satellites all the time for a fraction of the cost
this is so stupid
>>52477041
but anon this is the apple of satellites
>>52476982
i do often wonder just what the fuck he is thinking with some of the choices he makes
t. internet smartass
>>52477041
I keep reading that russian one way rockets to the moon only cost only 5mil,while we keep seeing regular meme X cost 9 mil to get to the orbit.
>>52476739
>"Fuel spill"
fuel is burnt up. Maybe a hundret gallons left at most by the time it lands.
>>52476982
All the others legs locked just fine. Servo's add significant weight to the rocket.
>>52477041
Soviet surplus parts will eventually be exhausted.
>>52477041
Since when? I know the proton is cheaper, but only because the Russians heavily subsidise it. And they only do that because of it's poor success record.
>>52476580
That wasn't the problem. One of the landing legs didn't deploy properly and it tipped over
>>52477041
http://tass.ru/en/non-political/749132
>“If Space X offers on the market the prices and quality it is talking about and if it can put its Falcon 9 into a geostationary transfer orbit for $55.5 million, then they will be targeting a segment of satellites lighter than 4.5 tons, which is quite big. We can also achieve this level of costs, slightly higher,” he said.
>If the $81 million Falcon Heavy rocket proves successful as well, “we will see a new price format on the market”, Popov said. “Will we be able to compete with this price? I think we will, but we will have to invest in development,” the official added.
Please crawl back into your mother's sloppy cunt, reddit.
>>52477158
That seems like something that should be easy to solve. Why not go full 1950s and just have fins that are legs so there is no deployment issue. Or have a trapeze system with a hook or a net or something similar to some of the systems developed in the 30s for recovery of aircraft on ships or airships.
>>52477776
>and just have fins that are legs so there is no deployment issue
because air resistance and weight
>>52477900
So why not give it moar power?
>>52478071
Expensive, and the Rocket Equation is a heartless bitch.
>>52478071
because more power means more fuel and bigger engines, which is also more weight.
>>52478131
So make a more efficient engine lol
This shit ain't that hard boys
>>52474692
>Name is Jason
>Am asshole
Sorry bruh
>>52478152
but it is tho
>>52477900
Wouldn't a leg that doesn't have to move be lighter than a leg with a failure prone mechanism to lower it?
>2016
>not building a giant bouncy castle on top of the barge to catch the rocket
Elon pls
>>52478295
Drag. Keeping the leg folded up against the rocket body has a far less drag penalty than having it stick out into the airstream, especially when the vehicle goes super and hypersonic.
>Elon Musk @elonmusk 1h1 hour ago
>Well, at least the pieces were bigger this time! Won't be last RUD, but am optimistic about upcoming ship landing.
>>52474665
>>52479588
is that his final form?
>>52475741
NASA would have to build a heating and humidification system that would keep the steaming pile of dog shit hot and steamy for the duration of the launch, and the weight of that equipment would be unacceptable at that cost
>>52474692
