BREAKING: #SpaceX Crew Dragon suffered an anomaly during test fire today, according to 45th Space Wing. Smoke could be seen on the beaches. "On April 20, an anomaly occurred at Cape Canaveral AFS during Dragon 2 static test fire. Anomaly was contained and no injuries."
You got scammed for clicks.
They even replayed it again last night (Euroland time). Had to take a double take to realize it's a replay...You got scammed for clicks.
Please pay attention while using the internet, it's full of people trying to bilk you.
Whatever livestream you're watching has about a two week lag. Don't want to spoil anything but the Atlantic in spring isn't exactly glass. It was a hell of a launch though.They've just recovered the three boosters for the first time. Both lateral boosters on land AND the central one on a barge.
You're not the first person to get confused in the last few days, I blame youtube.God damn my notifications betrayed me then. Thank you. I'll edit and clarify the post so nobody gets confused.
Apparently some kind of crazy spin maneuverWow, I hope they will be able to deploy them all. Will the last stage taxi them all out to their orbit, or will satelites get into place individually with onboard fuel?
In order to save mass, each of the 60 satellites will not have its own release mechanism, such as a spring. Instead, Musk explained, the Falcon rocket's upper stage will begin a very slow rotation, and each of the satellites will be released in turn with a different amount of rotational inertia.
"It will almost seem like spreading a deck of cards on a table," Musk said. There may actually be some contact between the Starlink satellites, he added, but they are designed to handle it.

I hope they get some cool video of that
