The live stream from NASA is still ongoing if anyone's still interested

Amazing footage at the moment. Lots for the flat earth loonies to get their paws into

But but but it is just being filmed in a Hollywood studio.

How else would it be so clear! Did you get to see it go up yesterday?

Can you destroy a planet with no life on it and nothing to appreciate it even exists, apart from humans?

This piece of shit species will find a way.

No. In the morning it was 80% chance of thunderstorms at 3.30pm so we went 45 mins west (instead of 2 and a half hours east) and went to a beach near Clearwater. Watched the launch on the tablet and had a great relaxing day at the beach (putting on the after sun cream after typing this!)

If it was 100% great weather we would have gone though it took us 3 and a half hours to get back on Wednesday. Dread to think how many more were there yesterday!

It was way better seeing it go over in the garden in the uk last night ;)

I once stopped in Clearwater. The hotel was the largest all wood structure in the USA. Amazing place but I cannot remember the name. Last 2 days we had to stay inside as there was a hurricane. Think it was the Biltmore or something like that

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Yes, but the video cut out just as it was “landing”. Conspiracy! The earth is flat and Neil Armstrong has never left Florida!

That was a bit unfortunate.
Was there only one camera, and was it only broadcasting and not recording as well?

Got told off for noise pollution in Clearwater. Had White Wedding blaring out of the Mustang soft top I was driving. Back when I had hair.

for contrast, this is what it looks like when a human tries to dock one aircraft with another :-)

 

[Segga]

Some great footage on that stream!

 

[JRockBlues]

You can always have a go at docking to ISS yourself if you want.

There is a very innocent explanation. The camera on board was recording perfectly well and in a few days time we will see perfectly good footage uploaded to the internet. The issue is the satellite link for the live stream temporary losses its link during the massive vibration of the landing, once landed vibration ceases link reconnected. This will happen every time.

To solve the issue would require a second boat drone which is an expense difficult to justify for 3 extra second of live streaming which everyone can view on the recording later.

Is it easy to get your rocket off the car park on the moon or do you have to leave on 80 minutes?

I had to leave early was working on Jupiter next day honest.

Thanks.
I don't actually think it was a fix, as that would ruin SpaceX. Just very unfortunate timing.
I hadn't thought as to what caused the problem, and hadn't seen/heard an explanation before yours.
I was thinking of just mounting a second camera on the boat drone - I've not seen a picture of what one looks like.

I think Doug has clearly gashed his head, coming through!

Only a City fan could bang his head in space YCMIU, they've had to find him a tissue.
