Tough landing it looked like, hovered over the deck for a second or 2 then fell down, looks like it used up all crush core.....

T+2 minutes.

I've never seen the plume look so asymmetrical before.

Was in miami and really hoping to see launch but saw zero from there even with clear skies. Did this rocket have northward trajectory?

T+20 minutes. Over Ireland.

You literally have the answer in the webcast right now, or 4 posts above yours, in Steven's update for T+10 mins.

<de-lurking>Pete Conrad would've been proud of that stage 1 landing!<re-lurking>

Tried with binoculars but it is too cloudy over UK as well

I think that might have been the best quality live video of a barge landing we've ever gotten.

T+30 minutes. Over the Middle East.

If not the most complete from what I remember. Liked the bouncing rocket, though.

Can octagrabber do the limbo?

1 of 2 in the nets

T+40 minutes. Over the Indian Ocean. Second ignition is in five minutes 55 seconds for two seconds.

Fairing in the boat!

That's excellent, thanks for the heads up! Looks like they have a secondary, smaller net under the main one to raise it up and dampen down oscillations on the fairing bouncing on top?

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #156 on:** 01/29/2020 01:52 pm »

One minute to second ignition.

Ms. Tree caught the fairing but the other boat missed.

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #157 on:** 01/29/2020 01:53 pm »

Confirmation of second ignition. Good orbit.

I think that is the net they drop over the side to fish a fairing out of the water.
