  1. Mission accomplished. Time to look at some planets.
  2. That's no good, I'm busy on Wednesday. Tell them to change it to tomorrow!
  3. This page shows you how to do simulations. But be quick, as demo performer says, the site is being dropped soon.
  4. Fabulous collection of images. I think I might sell the house!
  5. That's a beast Mr Drew. Proper telescope, I love it.
  6. As seen here in this uninterrupted footage from somebody on the ground with an LX200 and some nice tracking software. It's an incredible feat. The little detail (from the press conference) that stood out for me was how they had to land them not quite simultaneously to avoid confusing the radar.
  7. Centre core hit the water at 300mph after not having enough propellant to slow descent.
  8. orbit tracking link http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=43205
  9. Turns out the press conference hasn't actually happened yet. Earliest will be 23:45 GMT. Streamed here
  10. That was animated footage by the look of it. (edit - Just noticed it actually says animation) They also have factual errors "ignited all 27 of its engines at once" No it didn't
  11. Several journos reporting reporting on twitter the centre core didn't make it. Apparently there was a press conference at approx 6pm EST - 23:00 GMT. I'm sure there will be videos and explanations later. Still, an amazing achievement.
  12. The SpaceX subreddit has some good stuff.
  13. That's what I mean, they'll have had a fireball to deal with potentially, then possibly a search for the video gear and then waiting to get it back to land. The drone ship was about 300km down range I believe.
  14. I thort I read Hohmann transfer somewhere
  15. They'll tell us I'm sure, they'll probably wait until recovery of video from the drone ship. Meanwhile I'm happy to look at views like this for a while
  16. I've just set the side on view as wallpaper, he's a real hoopy frood don't ya know.
  17. Don't forget the mission's not complete yet:
  18. You could be right but that's ok, more data, less failures in future.
  19. And just in case you were unaware of what a monster they just threw into space
  20. From someone who's there via reddit (user's name is jardeon)
