I wasn't able to find much information about the details of the Stage 1 recovery. How long does it take for it to make it back? Will we know the outcome within a few minutes? (trying to decide if it makes sense to sleep)
EDIT: Reddit seems to have comprehensive coverage http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/2rrdha/rspacex_crs5_official_launch_discussion_updates/ http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/2rrdha/rspacex_crs5_...
- InclinedPlane 12y agoIt'll be a few minutes. They said they'll show video of the landing on the stream if it is successful so it's worth sticking around until the stream is done. Edit: hmmm, maybe that was wrong info, looks like they'll tell us about the landing on twitter. Probably time to head to bed I guess then.
- garretruh 12y agoSpaceX has said that they will announce the status of the first stage as soon as they know on the webcast. And if successful (and they have a good link to the barge), they'll also play a replay of the landing. EDIT: Or not. Looks like they wound down the SpaceX broadcast. NASA TV is still broadcasting the launch though.
- dabeeeenster 12y agoIt won't take long to reach the surface but I don't think we'll get the news of whether it was successful or not for some time...
