What is the round thing with black bolts sticking up on the left hand side of the screen?

I thought the video had frozen, then I realized no it's just that solid. Little steering nozzle barely working

There you go. Merlin 1C: 51/52 = 98% success rate.

Great launch! Dragon problem?!?

Halidon · « **Reply #171 on:** 03/01/2013 02:26 pm »

Aw crud, Dragon problem!

QuantumG · « **Reply #172 on:** 03/01/2013 02:26 pm »

Wow. I remember this question was asked at the pre-launch press conference: what happens if the solar panels don't deploy? Well, we may find out.

Uh oh? $:-\$

krytek · « **Reply #174 on:** 03/01/2013 03:06 pm »

I'm worried crazy...

kevin-rf · « **Reply #175 on:** 03/01/2013 03:06 pm »

I really think the gremlin has something with the 10:10:13 liftoff time, and the date being 1-3-2013...

It will be Musk's finest hour.

They're gonna figure this out and it will be hailed as a testimony to the robustness of Dragon. Wait for it...

Obviously bigger problems to deal with, but its a real shame the solar arrays didn't deploy while we had such a great view of Dragon from the second stage.
