@uhoh I thought there was a way to mark the question such that any answer would be a community wiki? is that not a thing?

asking for space.stackexchange.com/questions/53803/…

hey all. is there a way for a question asker to make a question community wiki, or does that need a mod?

tomorrow: Elon Musk announces a weather control company

yeah.

scrub due to weather. damn.

sounding like a scrub :(

go for propellant load. still watching weather

or about a single F-1 engine :)

are they still on track to make ASOG ready? I haven't heard anything about it in months

I'll take that bet, weather's looking better

@uhoh time for the caffeine injections

@PearsonArtPhoto on your site with the Roadster location, or have you launched another site?

weather's not looking great, true. still, pretty amazing to watch the crew suiting up and heading out to the launch pad

hey folks! who else is watching the NASA TV stream right now?

what projects has NASA paid SpaceX for? COTS, CRS-1, CRS-2, CCDev, is that it?

third burn successful! and we've got a look at the orbit...headed out well past Mars

everything working after a few hours is a good sign, though

third burn definitely happened; lots of sightings from california. no word from spacex on how it went

about an hour is what I'm hearing on twitter, haven't heard anything official from SpaceX

interesting...contemplating ship-to-ship hopper flights.

huh, surprisingly short. but M1D's got a lot of thrust.

so...two years or so from now, accounting for Elon Time (tm)

oof. not surprised, but that's a significant figure

did he say total investment was probably half a billion? (I'm on a bit of a delay, was interrupted)

yeah.

admittedly, if NASA starts looking at a lunar architecture with FH as a major component, I'll happily eat my words

I really wish Gray Dragon (and Red Dragon, for that matter) weren't canceled. as it is...it's hugely impressive technically, it makes me excited for the future, but FH isn't a huge paradigm shift right now in terms of payloads.

did he say they ran out of TEA-TEB on the outer engines?

center core confirmed lost

@Edlothiad Welcome to the world of being a SpaceX fan :P

2nd burn of the second stage worked, per Elon's twitter: mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/960988527159795712

@PearsonArtPhoto As opposed to just doing one big burn from LEO into the heliocentric orbit?

I can understand them not holding it for 6 hours for the third burn, but still...

@PearsonArtPhoto yeah, me too.

my guess is it didn't manage the landing...although there was lots of cheering from the employees

ended the stream without telling us what happened to the center core! aaaargh

stll no word on the center core

second stage in orbit!

boosters landed, I mean

boosters down! pretty much right at the same time

!!!

at least, and that was back in 2012: bbc.com/news/technology-19947159

10 minutes to go!

gives me the aforementioned error messages, @Hobbes

ah, found a local news site's stream. better than nothing
