yeah we did but it was just the two of us with no experience very little sleep and with a nonfunctioning stream setup

#

as soon as the official SX stream came on we signed off

#

I think with proper preparation we'd do okay but with so little time it sucked

yeah this was me lmao

#

I didn't say a word

#

notably because I slept through the catch and woke up at T+15 and was desparately closing my eyes and pressing J so I couldn't see the results

My brain didn’t know what it was looking at, I just started yelling after 10s

#

Watching it irl i was pretty much speechless

#

And during catch i was like preparing to get hit by a sonic boom then it took really long to come

#

Still so surprised i could feel the heat from the landing burn though

#

I was just sitting there with my dad, who had woken up literally ten minutes earlier and had a massive cowlick on his head, and when they caught I was just like "wow... look at that."

#

Then dad said "cool" and went to get coffee

The glow irl was bright i thought it was on fire or something

plasma go brrrrrrr

glad dirge
#

you can see that other sharp edges that are subject to aerodynamic heating are not glowing yellow

#

And in closer shots you can see how the inside glowy bits billow like fire and not like glowing hot steel

#

Air that goes into the engine bay can't easily get back out again. Air that hits, say, the grid fins, can flow around or through them.

#

So it would make sense to get more 1000 K air lingering in the engine bay transferring heat, though maybe there was fire from venting methane too

youknow how fast cars have ducts through the frame for air? do that on superheavy

one day would be cool as hell to see ship hit the buoy

#

The goal on flight 4 was for it to just land in the ocean at zero velocity, Dan said on flight 5 that the goal was for it to come with a different landing profile so that they could inspect the heatshield tiles for longer and transmit as much data as possible

I guess they got that

alright guys, help me make sense of this. the sonic booms I mean

#

I hear some just as the engines are relighting. that one make sense. I mean when I count thunder after lightining and it's closeby it's <10sec right? so the sonic boom would've emitted from the point when the booster was <10sec before somewhere up in the sky but not too far up in the sky

#

but I hear another set just as the booster is snuggling into the arms of mechazilla. what was travelling at supersonic speeds a few seconds before that event? was it the hot staging ring?

outer bobcat
#

yes could be

sage surge
#

Most likely the interstage

small roost
#

Yeah I heard that irl too

blazing jackal
#

Hot stage ring and multiple different cameras at different locations, so you will hear the different booms at different times depending on which clip you're watching.

At some point I said SpaceX probably wouldn't recover the hotstage ring. I stand corrected

It's probably being recovered just for data on how it holds up to being blasted point blank by raptors. Can determine erosion or whatever.

I wouldn't be surprised if it got bent to heck hitting the water at terminal velocity, but then again it probably is one of the strongest pieces of the stack

This capture mission was special, as we had to rig everything to run long enough for catch attempt. We included the good, the bad, and in between. Mastered in HDR (HDR may not reflect for an extended amount of time while YouTube ...

the news of this particular flight really spread far and wide

like
I'm getting questions from friends/family who'd never usually care about this

also took advantage of that to ask what they heard about it before explaining anything, and it's mostly true aside from the occasional exaggeration or downplay

Believe me when I say he doesn’t follow spaceflight

#

He’s not that kind of kid

#

And then another one who obviously hadn’t heard said “dude that’s like a few years old”

All of this happened while I was watching the Cosmic Perspective footage btw

my dad has this group chat with his former college buddies and apparently they were in an uproar over the whole thing

Booster catch is sorta the same concept as Falcon booster landings. But come to think of it it's a big progression because it needs so much more precision
