Is there any more technical data on performance during re-entry (was there any issue will roll?) and at splashdown (how did the parachutes perform?)
Those were the two big question marks from what I understand.
- WestCoastJustin 8y agoThere is a great 2h+ video, recorded live from earlier today, that soft-answers a couple of these questions. There was a panel discussion with NASA folks [2], where they talk about some successes of re-entry and parachutes deployment. You can watch the parachutes deployment yourself [3]. But, I think they will be sifting through this data for a few weeks before you have hard answers. Reddit is also a super active place for early news via https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex. It is also incredible that we can watch all this real-time too. Just amazing!

- xvf22 8y agoI watched and and while to me it seemed like there was a whole lot of buffeting / oscillation it very well could have been much less or more than a Soyuz. Unsurprisingly I don't have the domain experience to judge it and would appreciate some perspective from those in the know.
