ITT: we gather TLDRs and data for the launch in three hours.
Summary for mission:
>SpaceX is targeting a July 18 (EDT) launch of its ninth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-9) from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
>The instantaneous launch window opens at 12:45am EDT (4:45 am UTC) on July 18, and a backup launch window opens at 12:00am EDT on July 20. Dragon will be deployed about 10 minutes after liftoff and attach to the ISS about two days later.
>Following stage separation, the first stage of the Falcon 9 will attempt an experimental landing on Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
>inb4 experimental landing crashes and basement experts say it's the doom of spacex
>inb4 but the earth isnt even round
>inb4 op cant inb4
>bonus track: about to heat some pasta for dinner, captcha is pictures of pasta. dafuq.

This is why /g/ sucks. Its full of poo in the loos who think there smart because they can complete lego tier tasks like coding and PC building. There is zero intellectual curiosity here

Retard spotted, we care about the application of science to our every day lives - technology.
You wanna talk about the science itself go elsewhere.
>>55625827
Technology and applied sciences go beyond smartphones and gaymen boxes. Flying shit to space and back is a very applied, very practical application.
bmup?
>>55626547
No, we already told you to take your stupid science shit to the correct subchan.
This launch includes the new code which can save the Dragon in case of a RUD
as a result, the safety zone is extended
>>55626619
>safety zone is extended
Is there a land-based equivalent of that pesky boat troll?
>>55626605
>Technology ("science of craft", from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia) is the collection of techniques, skills, methods and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation
This is about a particular instance of a process to develop very useful goods (betterer and recoverable spaceships and launchers) and services (space logistics). Moreso, it is not a simulation but a real, down-to-earth (or not kek) instance of said process. Ergo, you can hide this thread from yourself and kindly gtfo to your /g/aymen and /g/pus if actual technology offends you.
>>55626693
What the hell does space even have to offer? There's literally nothing there LMAO
>>55626718
Ever heard of asteroid mining? There's tons upon tons of titanium, platinum, and gold out there, far more accessible than what has sunk into the Earth's core. Also having a backup for when the Earth gets roasted by the sun is a nice idea.
Also GPS.
>>55626764
cool, post on /g/ when I can buy my own asteroid mining kit. Til then keep it on /sci/

Stop moving the goalpost every time you're refuted, this isn't /pol/. If you don't like the thread, skip it.

Do we still get a view from the chase plane even though it isn't landing on the barge but bakc at KSC?
>>55626871
>ksc
Don't jinx it anon
My guess is there will be ground based cameras with a better internet pipe, so we will be able to witness the glorious touchdown/lithobraking in glorious HFR HD
>>55626927
I was just curious because the only reason the chase plane is seen during some of the barge attempts is because NASA is required to oversee the entire operation of the CRS missions, which includes the landing of the rocket.
Weather, green, range safety, green.

Has Elon Musk ever delivered on time?
>>55627568
1 MINUTE
>>55627589
Take his estimate and add 50%. If in regards to Falcon Heavy, triple.
>>55627557
The main issue is paying less. Even without first stage recovery, a Falcon 9 launches are "only" around USD60M
>>55627601
What the fuck? I'm not gonna pay for a space trip unless it's like $30
>>55627607
Then goto boris for USD200M

Man, this blows. I thought it was gonna blow up and crash into SpaceX headquarters.
They are getting way better at this.
We have a successful MECO, separation and flip. Boostback has started. Stage 2 propulsion looks good.
>>55627601
Is there any reasonable reason the government couldn't have gotten prices down that far themselves? Seems like half of NASA's problems are that they spend billions developing a rocket then Congress tells them to scrap it.
Stage 1 boostback has shut down.
>>55627637
Wait for the landing, there's always hope.
>>55627662
Monopoly stagnation and government bureaucracy. All hail capitalism and competition.
>>55627637
SpaceX HQ is on the other side of the country anon
>>55627678
It can still happen
We are coming in. Keep on target. Entry burn started.
COMMIES BTFO
Stage 1 is transonic
>Stage 1 is trans
So progressive of SpaceX to have non-binary boosters
I am fully erect.
holy moly
They did it again.
Beautiful landing. Dragon still on target.
And we have a cottony soft touchdown, and Falcon 9 has stayed upright.
>>55627706
Actually, it's back on "this" side of the sound barrier, so it's cis-sonic now
>mfw SpaceX employees were told not to chant USA anymore because it triggered liberals
It takes less time to get into space than taking a shit.
Does the Stage 2 have thrusters to deorbit it after Dragon detatches, or does it remain in orbit indefinitely?
Love the sound of sonic booms.
>>55627742
It'll take another 3 to 12 hours to reach ISS because of orbit synchronization fuckery, though.
What's all that shit flying around in space? Debris?
>Meanwhile, in space...
Dragon separation successful, solar array deployed
>>55627744
Neither. The very thin atmosphere slows it down and the orbit decays after some weeks, and it burns high up instead of snackbaring.
>>55627757
The sides of anons.
>>55627744
They all cluster together at L3 until there's enough to build a giant Musk-shaped robot
And there is the Pokemon reference.
>>55627735
To be honest, it's not a national accomplishment anymore like it was when NASA did it. Still, that's no excuse for giving in to any libcucks.
>>55627757
Indeed, surely from the same mission judging from the low relative velocity. Probably frost, smoke particulate from the kerosene burning, and some
FUCK NOT A POKEMON JOKE
>>55627778
I would chant it just to see the marxists get angry.
And I'm an Italian in Argentina.
>>55627802
The only reason I'm conflicted is that I do long for the days when the nation came together and actually rallied around progress, and it's sad to see NASA become a shell of what it used to be. These days most of the actual engineering is done by contractors.
I'm still excited to see SpaceX accomplish great things, in part because I dream of working in aerospace once I graduate, but I don't see any reason other than gross mismanagement by the federal government that the nation's best and brightest would rather serve an eccentric South African billionaire than their own nation.
>>55627904
Go read 'High Justice' by Pournelle
You'd really like it....
>>55627904
SpaceX is a product of capitalism, which is what the US is based on.
Celebrate that and spit on some communist fuckos.
>>55627904
>I dream of working in aerospace
May we someday meet
>gross mismanagement by the federal government
That is a given anon. It's time to trim down the government into a watchman role. I hope here in Argentina Macri will achieve that.
>>55627904
welcome to neoliberalism
>>55627991
>I hope here in Argentina Macri will achieve that.
the corrupt, fascist murderer businessman that just got more power to make even more money?
the millions the K stole will be nothing after macri leaves... but of course, ignorant people don't know how shit works, why would you expect them to vote a decent politician...

>>55628222
Amos-6 is Aug 22, but I think JCSCAT-16 is supposed to launch before it but I can't find a launch date for it. I don't know how it would work out though as the two launches would have the quickest turn around compared to all the previous launches.
>>55627735
Wtf, I must have missed the memo. I know some idiots got butthurt about the "USA" chants but I don't think anything was formally conveyed to the employees here. There're quite a few ex-mil guys here who I'm sure would have been pissed if such an order came down from above.
There's always the possibility that I've been left out of the loop again.
I don't think it's live. They just show the same video each time.

Well meme'd.
>>55625674
Space videos stopped being interesting after the 90s. These days you can't easily tell if it's real or animated. There was a time when they used to write "Actual images" but now stopped doing that too.
Doesn't pajeet offer cheaper space-taxi rides? How is SpaceX in business?
