NSF SpaceX Starlink L5 B1048.5 Landing Bingo

[Helodriver]

NSF SpaceX ASDS Landing Bingo returns like a bolt from the blue! After many repeated routine landings the dispersal patterns have gotten wider, the crush cores have been squished, and finally a returning core missed the droneship entirely and went for a swim. What had been near perfect bullseye droneship  landings barely worth attention are events of interest once more, so ASDS Landing Bingo is back with purpose! Can the booster figure out how to defy the winds and find the deck again? Will B1048.5's unprecedented 5th landing attempt bring success back to OCISLY or will we be playing another game of "floating booster, now what?"

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

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

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 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:

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 unique SpaceX artifact suitable for display or resale on Ebay to Bill Carton!  (the Roadie here on NSF)
 


Good luck SpaceX, Good luck Starlink L5 and Good luck to NSF readers! May the 5th time be the charm!
