I'll bet $1,000 it makes it.

im not 100 percent sure, but i think it has like  2-3000kph  more then the orbbcom landing lol  if they pull it off itll be amazing.

ill bet we loose feed just before it lands

But does that extra speed matter? All previous problems have happened once the rocket was slowed down. They've yet to fail with getting the rocket to target.

Video will cut out for sure

well the breaking burn would probably need more deltav. bot sure if that plays into it.

apparently wind gusts at the landing zone lol not sure what the limit is for landing

God dang, that's pretty cool! I kind of felt bad for that robot, getting bullied so much.

I wonder how close we are to seeing these machines around, assisting us.

The very first time they tried reentry was with a similar flight plan to this. Twas Discover I think.

Didn't have a barge waiting for it, but the rocket made it down perfectly. I think they have this.


Would suck if it landed, but then tipped over a minute or two later from wind and waves.

Delayed a day.

[DD_Bwest]

Delayed a day.

nooooooo!  but not surprised
