I mean a lotta americans think they r smart but r dumb no offence
And a lotta asians are smart but arent confident
I think everyone regardless of intelligence level can always learn a thing or two
That was a perfect launch
Yeap. And perfect landing of stage 1
Musk ftw
We finally are getfing really good live shots from the ASDS
Heard they upgraded the system
Usually the dome antennae tracker struggles to maintain satellite lock, I'm curious what type of new system they're using
Okay now just waiting on twitter for Ms. Tree and Ms. Cheif
Hope they net the fairings this time
they might be using starlink now
Hmmm maybe but the issue with the the camera relay system wasn't satellite speed
No server advertising
It was the satellite tracker onboard the ASDS
Because to get HD video relayed, it has to use a point to point based transmission relay
And there's a antennae tracker onboard to do that, but vibration make it struggle to keep a lock on the satellite
So I would assume they found a way to relay video transmission via a omni directional antenna? Either way very impressive
But yes, wouldn't be surprised if they use starlink for the telemetry
Fairings have been captured!
Whoa that's so cool
Also nice!
You could really hear and feel the rumble of the rocket
It was awesome
Yes!!!!
History
Yes baby they got em both yeet!!!!
It’s great to know that we’re watching history happen
I wonder what upgrades they'll do to the fairings. New fairings are really cool with the aluminum tips, rcs, and chutes. They're practically spaceships of their own
Dude, fairing surfing sounds like an extreme sport
Haha
I saw close ups before
And they use spread tow weave carbon fiber!
It looks so cool! My rockets use twill weave, but spread tow sure weave carbon fiber sure gives the more "aerospace" feel
I believe they use spread tow on the landing legs too, along with alumnium honeycomb for the insides
Either way, it was a pitty seeing those practically handlaid carbon fiber fairings being thrown away
This has been a surprisingly active channel. Good to know there are a lot of fellow av geeks out there.
Absolutely
