NSF SpaceX ASDS Landing Bingo launches again for the third flight of the world's most powerful rocket, making "its most difficult flight ever." We're going to keep doing this at least until they get it right!  8)  Two heavies have launched so far and Zero intact cores have been brought to the dock. Will the STP-2 mission break the curse or will the unprecedented downrange distance and superheated return doom yet another core landing attempt? Will Octograbber's modified arms hold the rockets down? We shall find out soon!

So once again the game is afoot! No shotgun start, the game is immediately open!

 The game remains exactly as played in prior iterations. If its not broke don't fix it. :)

 - CRS-8 ( http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=39977.0 )
 - JCSAT-14 ( http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=40219.0 )

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

This includes post landing walkabouts, or Octograbber nudges!

No prize for fireballs, debris, or damage on deck!

If it hits the ship, goes kaboom, punctures holes in the deck, falls over in transit, 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 once again meaningless, except for "I told you so" bragging rights. If it falls in the sea, no winners.

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

NOTE: There may sometimes be a slight delay of a few minutes at most between scraper updates, so check the last few posts before yours too, just to be sure. Scraper is operational as of this edit.  Thanks to DanielW for setting the scraper up, it helps a lot!

Judging is by me, Helodriver using imagery of OCISLY sailing back into the harbor to help determine a winner. Rocketcams, helicopter or drone shots, and landing coverage will also be used, but where it sits at the time of unloading will be final. 

Winner gets a one year EL TWO membership for free! If a current EL TWO member, you can donate it to another member or add it to your own term length.

The winner will also get a signed original picture of a SpaceX vehicle taken by me, suitable for framing.  8)


Good luck SpaceX, Good luck STP-2 and Good luck to NSF readers! May the 3rd time indeed be the charm!

I hear the same sound when throwing darts after too many beers.  On a positive note, the ship was spared damage, and I hope they can recover something from the damaged vehicle.

Did anyone make a bingo bet for "lands 50 feet above the deck"?

Because that seems to be what happened.

Of course, once the booster realized it was doing that, it ran away in embarrasment. (and to save the droneship from a cratering)
