VIDEO Space X splash down - livestream

Looks really hazy out there

Texas. Midsummer. Humidity. Water temp 85°

 

[et2]

Water ballast keep it upright

 

[et2]

boats do a sniffer test for fumes

 

[et2]

Chutes get cut automatically

 

[et2]

Comm check ... all good

 

[et2]

Comm reconfigured to recovery team to be included

 

[bw]

I presume someone is detailed to collect the chutes, so we don't entangle wild critters.

Thanks et2!

 

[et2]

Getting ready to install rigging equipment

 

[et2]

Couldn’t have a better ocean. 2.5 minutes to capsule lift. All sniff tests good

 

[Squid]

Maybe it’s just me but everytime they say Bob and Doug I think of the McKenzie brothers.

 

[et2]

25 minutes to lift... prior was error

 

[et2]

Mains detach immediately at splashdown.

Great minds and all that.


incidentally, that didn’t look like a “real“ mission control center. It looked like a webinar in a large conference room filled with business drones. Pitiful.

 

[TheSearcher]

Bob & Doug won’t come out for 24 min

If they see their shadows, they have to go back.

 

[et2]

Man that thing is black

 

[et2]

Capsule that is

 

[et2]

Looks like R2-D2

 

[et2]

10 min to lift

 

[night driver]

Well.

We have just proven POSITIVELY that I am a Child of the Mercury Program.
Permanently stuck to the recovery screen...

 

[et2]

Gotta go barbecue ...

Within an expected range means normal, and that's incorrect usage.

Not in NASA terminology. Normal means perfect, nominal means within an expected range.

 

[zeker]

Astronauts named “Bob and Doug?”

Who are they, the Mckenzie brothers?

send the boys a canadian .. hoser

Not in NASA terminology. Normal means perfect, nominal means within an expected range.

NASA people may speak that way, but they're wrong. "Nominal" means in name only. It's derived from the early space program when they would say "variances are nominal" which is perfectly correct. From there they went to "readings are nominal" which is wrong, and then it just went downhill. Meh. Back to your regular channel.

I enjoyed watching, was home to see it launch, and watched yesterday and again today, I did miss them exiting the Dragon, had to take the kid to work, but saw everything else. I did watch the replay of them getting out.
