- trollied 7y agoI'm more impressed by the booster landings though :-) Seeing a launch/landing in-person is on my bucket list.
- Joe-Z 7y agoI saw the live stream yesterday and when the two side boosters landed side-by-side synchronously it was almost as if it was out of a movie. We are living in the future!
- qmarchi 7y agoOn this launch, it looks like they offset the timings to reduce the chance of tipping over. If you get time, go look for the first FH booster landings. The timing is almost perfect and the long exposure images looked beautiful.
- isostatic 7y agoThey are supposed to be offset for radar purposes. The fact the first time was so close was a mistake, fortunately it worked.
- pedrocx486 7y ago>On this launch, it looks like they offset the timings to reduce the chance of tipping over. On reddit a lot of people enphasised that it was to avoid interference. Which interference, no one knows.
- that_jojo 7y agoIncorrect. Gift that you give to me, no one knows,
- Teknoman117 7y agoIt's certainly very cool. I saw the night launch/landing of Falcon 9 out of Vandenberg a few months back. Certainly worth the overnight trip. Most impressive part for me was that you see the booster make it's landing burn and touchdown BEFORE you hear the landing at the observation site.
