That's him?

#

Why'd he get footage

#

"sorry you don't get the footage" is just moai moai

#

It looks kinda fake tho

toxic agate
#

The problem is the way he interprets the snippets

#

Remember when the KSC OLM was gonna be replacing the one at Boca?

#

And somewhat of a pedo but that's a huge big rabbit hole

#

oh I've had him blocked since pretty much day one I missed that

#

ocean scam I knew about obv

#

good times

#

(is the /s necessary?)

#

there's also the "fake person" incident where he basically said TSE didn't exist, that was fun

#

Are we sure this isn’t just an edit

#

That’s cool then

#

He better give us something of the ship now

#

Surely this makes it even easier for spacex to find who it is cause I’m sure they won’t be happy with this one

fathom void
#

Turns out it’s probably someone high up leaking it all as they want to

#

cant lie I dont think we will get it

#

the recap video was the last chance to get any new footage

young bay
#

I will get a job at spacex just for this footage

clouds have moved, just not that much

#

just threw this image and the og into paint.net and overlayed them, and yeah, the clouds have moved but very little

#

still dont get how it had enough fuel fr a mushroom cloud

#

explosion doesnt appear to be at the landing point

fathom void
#

It’s just a fireball mainly

#

But like even 10 tons of residual would be enough to get that I’d imagine

#

my point is stil that the explosion doesnt appear to be directly at the landing point, or at the engines, but closer to wear the top would be after tipover

#

perhaps after landing, the water pushed igniting fuel back into the tanks, with a "smaller" explosion detonating the FTS directly (idk how fts works, but if an explosion happens next to it, could it be set off even if "safed"?)

#

by the explosion

fathom void
#

The booster basically fell 70m and landed on a brick wall

winged stump
#

so whats the current theories on what happened

#

it hovered and then fell into the ocena

#

it didnt slow down enough and slammed into the ocean

bitter roost
#

it was shot

#

by spacex

winged stump
#

in which case the clouds would have moved far more in the time between

#

Why are people so surprised it went boom? That's literally what happened with all the early Falcon 9 boosters that splashed down

#

That could explain why they didn't show it fall

#

But even then sad they don't wanna show ruds anymore ig

#

But I'm it's probably pr because all the news as article would be mentioning that instead of the accomplishments

winged stump
#

one thing i dont get is it clearly happened after tipping (telemetry showed a minimum speed of 9km/h and a final speed of 102km/h, with an average acceleration of 6km/h^2 (1.7m/s^2)), but here is no part of the booster visible in the picture, which would be expected even in an explosion like that

#

i say after tipping rather than a straight drop, bc 1.7m/s^2 is well under 1g

#

although i might be wrong and it was with 1 or 2 raptors on

#

Salt water does funny

winged stump
#

like thinking back to say, SN9 or 8, the explosion would launch chunks of it along the water, and would be clearly visible in the picture, and the other thing is no isible splash or spray that would be expected which i find strange

#

i may be completely wrong with this, but just thinking

i’d expect FTS was safed at that point
