Edit: does anyone know why the photos are all sideways and upside down? They seem fine on the phone. 😫

You need to configure your phone into landscape mode.

SpaceX CRS-15 Launch Photographer Behind-the-Scenes, Orbital Sunrise, 500fps liftoff slow motion


The slow-motion footage starting around 2:56 is utterly fascinating.  Even at a tenth speed, you can't see how fast the exhaust is moving even while parts that appear to be quite close fall like puffs of dry ice.  Quite a contrast.

Filmed at 500 frames per second, the Falcon's exhaust would *still* cover some 5.6 meters per frame. So no, you cannot actually see the exhaust move, just the general shape of the flame.

NASA TV schedule no longer lists Dragon ISS departure, probably due to the Commercial Crew announcement happening around the same time. Does that mean there won't be a live coverage available for the Dragon departure?
