SpaceX launch webcast
- sbierwagen 12y agoLaunch is scheduled for 15:08 PDT. (18:08 EDT) EDIT: Launch has been pushed back an hour, to 16:01 PDT. (19:01 EDT)
- ufmace 12y agoAny word on if they're going to do any testing of landing the first stage on this launch? It looks like they're using the first stage landing legs.
- nkoren 12y agoYes, they'll be making another flyback and ocean landing attempt -- this time closer to shore and hopefully with a better signal to receive uncorrupted video! (The last time, the plane they were receiving the booster's telemetry from was too far from the landing site to get a clean signal).
- darkmighty 12y agoActually, some people on nasaforums.com made unbelievable progress in reconstructing the original landing video from the original raw corrupted stream. Here's the progress made so far: http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=7m8H8OlJ3o8&start1=0&video2=lBgVTWbtgVQ&start2=0&authorName=mhenderson http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=7m8H8OlJ3o8&start1=0&video...
- keehun 12y agoThat's amazing.
- mikeash 12y agoI peeked in at the discussion about trying to recover more of the stream. It was pretty neat. Some of those folks really know their stuff when it comes to the bit-level details of video encoding. As I recall, a bunch of the errors in the stream ended up being fairly regular and identifiable/reversible with human intelligence, like repeated sequences of N flipped bits every M bits.
- keehun 12y agoThe fact that they could look at the raw data and figure that out is really awesome. Shows you artificial intelligence has a long way to catch up.
- ufmace 12y agoCool! I read that they were asking for help in reconstructing it, but I didn't think they'd make that much progress at it.
- ceejayoz 12y agoI believe part of the problem last time was also that a storm was in the recovery area.
- asmithmd1 12y agoThey just aborted the attempt for today
- n0rm 12y agoLaunch team is probably not happy their stress is prolonged for another 24 hours. Then again, their boss is Musk. Lucky bastards.
- dlgeek 12y ago...Which makes sure their stress is prolonged far more than 24 hours, at least according to my friends who work there.
- sitkack 12y agoBetter to abort than fail. -- O Ring
- borski 12y agoLaunch just got aborted again.
- tempestn 12y agoLooks like they won't go to space today. http://xkcd.com/1133/ http://xkcd.com/1133/
- bostonpete 12y agoDid the part where lots of fire comes out start pointing toward space?
- tempestn 12y agoNo, that would be a bad problem. This was only a little problem.
- martythemaniak 12y agoThe door to the box that holds the air that makes your voice sound funny didn't work. Maybe it will work tomorrow and the part of the space car that falls of first will come back without crashing.
- coob 12y agoLaunch aborted - possibility of trying again in 24hrs
- jpgvm 12y agoScrubbed. :( I guess we wait until tomorrow.
