Getting a lot more venting now....

Some venting at the top now too. S2 loading?

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #63 on:** 11/21/2013 05:56 pm »

T-5 mins if they got for the 2pm local! Venting strongly now!

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #64 on:** 11/21/2013 05:58 pm »

Two minutes. (Again, they have a long window, so we're talking window open for this at 2pm).

Ahh... car in the way!

EDIT: gone now

S1 looks pretty much filled with LOX.

I don't think it'll be at the start of the window, the 1st stage tank was barely iced over just 20 minutes ago.

And something drove by behind it meanwhile. I think that was a camera block attempt to hide what was on the truck lol.

Whoa.....

mheney · « **Reply #70 on:** 11/21/2013 06:02 pm »

My thought exactly ....

mlindner · « **Reply #71 on:** 11/21/2013 06:02 pm »

Whoa.....

That's a lot of venting...

ugordan · « **Reply #72 on:** 11/21/2013 06:03 pm »

That didn't look good.

mlindner · « **Reply #73 on:** 11/21/2013 06:03 pm »

Smoke just came from the bottom? Was that it?

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #74 on:** 11/21/2013 06:04 pm »

Calming down a bit now, but that was a LOT of venting.

sdsds · « **Reply #75 on:** 11/21/2013 06:04 pm »

Some gas released near the base of the vehicle as well.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #76 on:** 11/21/2013 06:04 pm »

Looks like they are cycling valves.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #77 on:** 11/21/2013 06:06 pm »

What the heck is she doing!

Zaran · « **Reply #78 on:** 11/21/2013 06:06 pm »
