Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Booster 1049.5. Its five time mission: to boost strange new payloads, to seek out new flights and new utilizations. To boldly land when no booster has landed before!

ASDS Landing Bingo returns for a warp speed 6 hour game for Starlink L7, launching only one day after the last booster from DM-2 returned to port and marking the first time two droneships were at sea on duty at one time. It seems like SpaceX has their ASDS mojo back and the program is advancing as relentlessly as the Borg.

Tonight B1049.5 steps back into the spotlight for Deck Trek V, trying to be the first booster to fly and land successfully for a fifth flight. Will it soar like the Enterprise or crash like that one sequel directed by William Shatner? We shall find out soon!

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 analysis of JRTI 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 L7! Good Hunting JRTI and good luck to NSF readers too!
