Title: SpaceX CRS-8 Is Great Landing Bingo
Post by: Helodriver on 04/05/2016 11:09 pm
OCISLY is at sea and a Falcon is vertical on the pad, Time to launch the latest iteration of ASDS Landing Bingo!

The game remains fundamentally the same with one major twist!

Pick your square, one per player. Closest square to the center engine when it comes to a halt gets the prize! 

The twist: To help bring about a successful landing, this game will no longer incentivize kabooms by giving prizes for debris or damage on deck! if it hits the ship, goes kaboom, punctures holes in the deck, falls over in transit, or splashes down in the sea, there is no winner. Only a booster standing tall and triumphant as the ASDS sails into the harbor will generate a win!

Water squares are meaningless, if falls in the sea, no winners - no prize. Feel free to pick a water square just for "I told you so" bragging rights if you wish! ;)

This thread remains the official record of who chose what square when. For that reason any edited pick post is invalid.

Use Dan's scraper to see which spots have gone:

http://asds.dansdoorway.com

Judging is by me, I expect there will be many photographs of OCISLY sailing back into the harbor to help determine a winner.

Good luck SpaceX, Good luck CRS-8, and Good luck to NSF readers!

ONE YEAR FREE L2 MEMBERSHIP TO THE LUCKY WINNER

And a piece of SpaceX swag from me!

(Prior winners I've not still have not forgotten your stuff, I'm going to get you some authentic SpaceX Historical Artifacts, not mere swag!)  :)

Already picked, 3 posts above yours.
I PMed them to that effect, although I didn't hear back. And I suggest that PMing might in general be more effective than posting, at least in this case, as the posts fly so fast and furious. Also I don't know about you, but I tend to only search for my pick and not necessarily read every single post. (why I saw that F16 was a dup??? I guess I have no life???)

  I had the third pick and forgot, as had the first two picks, that Dan's extractor requires a hyphen between the letter and number. 
Bummer!
Good luck to bargemanos who got that very central selection.

Yes right in the container. Sorry I just don't have much hope of seeing a successful barge landing any time soon. They have proven that its much much more difficult than land landings.

Kudos to Dan for reworking his scraper to also recognize selections without hyphens.
Now I have one of the squares where the arcs cross at the center of the logo.
That seems to qualify me as REALLY optimistic.  :P

edit: But wait. The background image is for JTRI, the west coast ASDS.  Yesterday it was the appropriate OCISLY, albeit without the deck repair for which we don't have such a good image.

Kudos to Dan for reworking his scraper to also recognize selections without hyphens.
Now I have one of the squares where the arcs cross at the center of the logo.
That seems to qualify me as REALLY optimistic.  :P

edit: But wait. The background image is for JTRI, the west coast ASDS.  Yesterday it was the appropriate OCISLY, albeit without the deck repair for which we don't have such a good image.

it has always recognized votes without hyphens. You have to intentionally submit it to a turning test to get it to miss your vote. Though I a am sure I am missing some really odd-ball stuff that people do. people are weird. But all  of the following should work

l18
L18
L-18
L 18
L/18

But not el eighteen, or The 18th column in the Lth row. or some other intentional confusion.
if you like regexes here is the very weak "AI"

'/(^|[^a-zA-Z])([a-wA-W][^a-zA-W0-9]{0,3}[0-9]{1,2}?)([^a-zA-Z0-9]|$)/'

What was weather and see conditions at the barge at the time of landing. I see some white caps and the exhaust drifted a bit...been worried they might only be able to stick a landing if everything was "perfect".

Forgive my ignorance...does a crew head out to the barge and secure the rocket???

Yes, the support barge will be headed to OCISLY at full steam. Known plans for securing the rocket are to weld steel "shoes" over the feet on the legs, they will probably jack some sort of support stand under the rocket itself as well.

I didn't know that.  I couldn't tell the model from the out-of-focus bits and pieces, but it looked like it was small and with up-turned wing tips.  Didn't look like an Orion.

The important thing is that it is sufficiently off-center to make future bingo games interesting.

I think they'll tighten it up in the future.

I forgot about the bingo thread for this mission, so I didn't make a prediction.  But the best comment was Lee Jay from the update thread:

Wonder who won the bingo!

Everyone did.

No way. I'll believe it when I see it

Just guessing that -close- makes me happy.  ButL2 would be the most amazing thing. I'd have bought it ages ago but being a starving graduate student makes me by things like... Ramen and hotdogs instead.

Wow.  Here's hoping for no revisions.

I am close at J-25!

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.  ;D

Definitely a fixed wing, since the wing was in the image for a while.

I fly a Diamond DA40 and immediately recognized the wing of a DA42.

The chase plane is a Diamond DA42 MPP Guardian.

It's for Helo to make the call on the winner, but I really hope S.Paulissen wins now.

If not, I'm sure I can work something out from the L2 side at least ;)

If we're sticking with only successful landings in future, you're going to have to shrink the pickable area for the future ones, to exclude areas where the legs are off the edge of the barge.

Now we have reference pictures of the legs in relation to OCISLY.

I did the photogrammetry as best I could, and I get dead center on H and right on the line between 23 and 24.

I did it myself out of my natural scientific skepticism and find that it is very sensitive as to where you decide to place the tips of the legs.  I ran a triplicate measurement of the legs and averaged the three and got essentially what was the intersection of the four squares I/H-24/25.  If I were a betting man I'd say the probabilities of who wins is H25>H25=I24>I25 but I'm biased (though trying not to be).  I mean, the real way to do it would get a better directly overhead defisheyed picture from a friendly SpaceX guy and then take the center of the circle  of the rocket. 

Good luck to the final four: Spaceade, SteffenCallsen, Clayjar (and most of all me XD).

I completely ignored the legs and used only the center of the stage.

I have H-23, and my L2 subscription just expired, so I'm feeling pretty good right now.

Not sure anyone realizes it but there is a double lifetime subscription option to L2. It costs exactly double what the lifetime subscription costs, and has zero additional benefits besides knowing you are supporting this great service! There may even be a triple lifetime subscription available some day. You can lock in all your future incarnations.

I think the rocketcam image is misleading as to where the stage was heading.  It's attached to the side of the stage that eventually pointed away from the wing on which the stage put a couple of its landing feet.  And it has a rather extreme fisheye lens on its camera.  To look down from that side of the rocket during final vertical descent and see the center of the X, you can't be coming down directly onto it.

The aerial shots of the landing from the NASA chase 'copter shows the engine exhaust hitting off to the side of the center of the X, in the direction away from the X that the stage landed.  So, from 20 meters on down, it was not at all headed for the center of the X.  And after initial touchdown, it did bounce a bit and skid another 5 meters or so, no more.

Just my take on it.  And hey -- I wanted the thing to land just on the opposite side of the center of the X, nearer my L-19 square.  How much do you want to bet that on the next bingo, the areas around the big circle fill in before the center...?  :)

Just to correct a bit: I'm fairly sure it was fixed wing aircraft with a camera mounted designed for aerial photography, and most likely by SpaceX since the feed was only available via SpaceX stream (further rebroadcast on the NASA stream)

Had it been NASA feed it would've been shown on NASA stream without the SpaceX graphics.

I thought at first it was a SpaceX drone, but was corrected by someone who posted a tweet from SpaceX that labeled the footage as from a NASA chase plane.  Sorry, there have been so many posts in these threads over the past two days that I can't find it at the moment.

I'm still not totally convinced, myself -- it wouldn't be the first time a SpaceX tweet would have to be corrected later.  However, unless it was a drone launched from one of the support ships, it would have to have been an aircraft that had special permission to be flying there, since this was obviously right in the middle of the keep-out zone for air traffic.  I mean, right in the middle...

It's been reported on this site by at least one person with close SpaceX ties that it was in fact a NASA chase plane.

Won't name names to protect anonymity, but the posts are right there in plain sight for those with eyes to read them.

Okay, I stand corrected.

I thought it might have been SpaceX-chartered plane due to the fact that NASA TV showed the feed from that plane from SpaceX broadcast instead of showing it directly.

a close up CLEARLY indicating that I-20 could have been the winner (or I row at least) if that DARN wind hadn't slid the rocket over about 5 feet.  ::)

The rules change did the trick, no prizes for kabooms forced SpaceX to up their game ;)

So, based on the superb flyaround shots shortly after landing, still shots from on the deck, dockside views from today's return to port, and someone with a handy helicopter flyby a winner has been determined.

Without further ado, the winner of the prize for picking the first ever in the history of the world successful landing site of a space booster on a ship at sea is NSF user Blah with his pick of square H-23!

Congrats to the lucky winner and to Space-X for a flawless mission which gave us this exciting game!

Thanks everyone for playing and I'm certain we'll be doing it again soon.

Post by: dorkmo on 05/03/2016 06:11 pm
since we're going to have so many landings, i propose we consider switching to roulette. each forum member starts with 100 SpaceX Bux that they can use to wager on each future ASDS landing. So the betting is exactly like roulette but its a game of skill instead of chance because you can pick numbers closer the center of the betting board instead of a random number on the wheel. lol?
