I feel like I must be crazy, but did anyone else notice that the two videos from the pair of boosters seemed like they were cloned from the viewpoint of a single booster?
I don't mean they look similar. I mean they look like they came from the same video feed. When completing the touchdown, they both seem to land at the same pad -- you can see the flame of the other booster and the pad the other booster is landing at in both videos, except they aren't rotated 180 degrees from one-another because the rest of the landscape is identical. Also, watch the moment when the boosters do their initial burn to slow down from freefall. The flames in both videos look virtually identical.
Here's a few samples: https://imgur.com/a/Xpbu8 https://imgur.com/a/Xpbu8
Did they acknowledge that the videos weren't actually taken from both rockets during the stream and I just missed it? Or is there some other explanation?
- RALaBarge 9y agoNo.
- stouset 9y agoIt would be helpful if you explained what part of my comment you’re replying to.
- gizmo 9y agoYeah, they accidentally used the same stream twice. Easy mistake to make.
- stouset 9y agoAh! That explains it.
- michielr 9y agoThey acknowledged it and uploaded a newer video where this is fixed.
- marvin 9y agoYes, the feed displayed two videos of the same core. Not sure if this was explicitly acknowledged, but supposedly they fixed the error in the archived feed. https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/7vg63x/rspacex_falcon_heavy_test_flight_official_launch/dtv2gf8/ https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/7vg63x/rspacex_falc...
