Massive congratulations to SpaceX and everyone involved in the launch, and a big thanks to everyone on here as well.
What a show, from launch to landings, to that view!

The amount of non spacey friends/family I had ask me about the FH launch is encouraging, hopefully this sparked a lot of people of all ages interest in space.
Think a new background is in order for every device I own!

That was fantastic. Launch, 2 out of 3 landings, the Starman cams. Great job by SpaceX. Hopefully, the TMI burn will go well.

Right around apogee over Indonesia, incredible view.

Seems to be some kind of fog building up at the base of the windscreen.

Congratulations SpaceX!!!

Even my Mom was impressed by the double booster landing!

Epic view.

Getting ready for the burn...

I only wish the Telsa computer could receive commands, the emergency parking lights were turned on, and the windshield wipers were activated.

T+5 hours. I wonder how SpaceX is getting continuous coverage? TDRS?

Roadster is feeling the heat from the radiation, lots of short video outages in the stream currently, along with weird artifacts in the picture, but it seems to recover from it nicely.

edit: added screenshots

RCS firing

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #734 on:** 02/07/2018 01:04 am »

Sun almost directly behind the car. With high orbit insertion at about T+0.5 hours and each orbit taking about 2.75 hours, that gives the third ignition at about T+0.5+2*2.75 = T+6 hours.

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #735 on:** 02/07/2018 01:15 am »

T+5 hours 30 minutes. Third ignition should be in half an hour. The view though seems to be stuck at this image.

In response to Tim Fernholz from Quartz, Elon said they might be able to catch Dragon-2 the same way they plan to catch fairings. This was the most surprising answer, IMHO.

Live view now seems to be stuck on a completely blank image.

Webcast just ended!

I was afraid I would miss this one. I was driving the final leg of a week long family trip, with my wife reading out the NSF coverage to me. She was watching the feed on my phone and with 1:30 to spare I found a rest stop and got to watch with my family from T minus 10. Epic and worth stretching a trip that needed to end by a few minutes.

Stream is back up. Unless it's a replay
