Have you prepared your popcorn?
This one's pretty much guaranteed to crash so make sure to be ready so you can tell your childrens about how you were there watching when SpaceX failed for the 3rd and final time.
You can't succeed if you never try. Failure is just something to learn from.

>As a result, early on Friday morning, the first stage will accelerate to a greater velocity, moving almost parallel to the surface and away from the launch site; it will then release the second stage and the primary payload. This trajectory will leave the vehicle with far less fuel to arrest its horizontal motion and control its descent to the barge waiting below. "JCSat is pushing the envelope as a very hot and fast mission," Elon Musk tweeted a week ago.
>The company has said there is a relatively low probability of success for a landing. But at least weather conditions look favorable, with a 90 percent chance of go conditions tonight. You can watch live as SpaceX will begin a webcast at around 1am ET, some 20 minutes before the launch window opens

Maybe, but I'm sure you noticed too that they had the ultra zoomed into the deck camera all the time until the rocked had "safely touched down" at which time they finally showed the video feed of the camera that had a wideview of the drone ship which would have been a better view of how the rocket "got there".

A bit, maybe.
If you rewind the stream there's a view from another boat pretty far out.
also here's some screenshots from me rewinding it
Seems to be the same zoom to me, maybe the blast from the rockets moved the camera a touch.
You can also compare to the screenshot I took right after it landed.

>>54403609
How many rockets have you launched, Ahmed?
Explain this to me, /g/.
This rocket is supposed to send a sattelite into geosynch orbit with Japan, right?
Why is it going down africa then instead of following the equator and rising higher into orbit?
Instead it seems to be taking a detour and staying at basically the same altitude.
>>54403590
>implying
>blindly believing all the media
hi /b/
2nd stage ignition.
>>54403626
>how do i orbital mechanics
>>54403626
It's burning to make the OPPOSITE end of the orbit go high.
So launch in America to make the orbit end over Asia go really high. The rocket then coasts to the other end and releases the sat
>>54403626
And now it's fucking SLOWING DOWN!

>crowd chants USA USA USA
>>54403647
Well, I am asking a question, dipshit!
why is stage 2 losing speed?
>>54403626
The second stage burn they just did was to adjust inclination and move up to geosynchronous transfer orbit.
Once it hits the opposite side of the planet from its burn, i.e., Japan, the satellite will use its own systems to circularize the orbit.
And they explained all this shit while I was typing. Damn.
>>54403667
>Europoor
Let's hope the Africans don't throw spears at it and knock it off course
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/728459808270000128
>>54403674
It's increasing altitude and not thrusting.
higher altitude = lower velocity

>>54403732
They have landed it on land, but need to perfect the barge landings for the falcon heavy. With the falcon heavy two boosters will return to land, while the main stage will land on the barge.
>>54403732
The efficiency of private enterprise is sufficient enough.
>>54403755
Also good to note certain missions can't have the first stage return to land, as it will be traveling too fast and too far from land.
Can I ask what this FTL-esque music is?
>>54403732
>they can land it on a non stable platform
>why not land it on stable platform
you wot
>>54403732
>Why not land it on a stable platform on land or on a decommissioned oil rig or some shit
Not on every mission they have enough fuel to get back to the Cape, so in those (especially missions to GTO/GEO like this one because they need much more speed than for LEO missions), they need to land it on the drone ship.
>>54403732
>>54403755
They would have to use too much fuel to turn around to land on land, or the oil rig would have to be in a very specific zone in order for it to be cheaper to buy instead of getting the barge there. Then there's the little issue of getting the rocket down from the rig.
>>54403782
Why don't they just keep going and land it on the moon or mars and have it wait there for future missions?
Man, NASA is just a bunch of idiots these days.
>>54403732
Because only pussies play video games on easy/normal. If you're going to do it right, you play it on hard mode.
>>54403732
When the rocket uses enough fuel for the second stage to get to GTO, it doesn't have enough fuel left to go back to land.
They have to fire the rocket out over the ocean because otherwise there's a risk of the rocket falling down somewhere that has people. Over the ocean, literally everything can go wrong and the worst injuries possible to humans are to their feelings.
They can't land on an oil rig because:
A) There isn't an oil rig already there.
B) Turning an oil rig into platform capable of having a rocket land on it is likely much more expensive and harder to maintain than just sending out a boat.
C) They can send the boat anywhere in the ocean that the rocket will land, instead of forcing all the rockets to go to that one location
D) When the rocket lands on the boat, they can pull the boat back to land. If it landed on a solid platform in the ocean, they'd either have to launch it from there or put it on a boat anyway to bring it back to the main land.
Oh, Elon, please never change!
>>54403712
Years ago, I remember watching some old black and white sci-fi movie (I think it was called Rocket XM). The rocket piloted by American astronauts had to fly to some distant planet. The rocketship landed in the same way Rocket X lands.
I remember thinking how silly it was landing a ship with that shape in the manner that they did. And it is incredible to now watch SpaceX land their ships in that manner.
>>54403801
Because they would need a lot more fuel for that, and a bigger rocket to carry the fuel. There are plans for a rocket that big though.

Sure but if they can stage these things so easily, why not just stage landing on Mars? While they are at it, put some people in alien suits.
