[Head of Vengarl]

So glad I tuned in in time, because that was AWESOME!

 

[William]

Does it have to balance on that drone ship all the way home? Or do they secure the legs somehow now?

 

[hamauzu kaito]

Does anyone know how they get dock back and how long it takes?

 

[GeCcO]

The 1st stage of the Falcon 9 just landed on our Of Course I Still Love You droneship. Dragon in good orbit

Can a mod update the title?

[Orbis Tabula]

so smooth

Geez, it honestly looks like a reversed .gif.

 

[jotun?]

Does it have to balance on that drone ship all the way home? Or do they secure the legs somehow now?

I think the plan is they'll send people out there to weld some caps over the ends of the landing legs to keep it stationary

Balance shouldn't really be a big problem though, because its center of gravity is actually very low. Slipping off is probably a bigger concern than tipping over

 

[Particulam]

Science!

Beautiful landing! Looking forward to the zoomed-in footage!

 

[William]

so smooth

That looks unreal

 

[A Grizzly Bear]

That was legit jawdropping. Incredible to see it live.

Seriously. They were talking about whether they could get a shot of it as if it wasn't happening for a little bit longer and then out of nowhere it was landing.

 

[hamauzu kaito]

Lol at that jobs plug at the end of the stream! Can I get a job, I sweep, clean toilets, anything lol

 

[Jezbollah]

so smooth

Not being funny - that rocket BOUNCED.

Those are strong landing legs.

 

[Crispy75]

Incredible footage. What an achievement. Feel privileged to watch it live.

 

[Netherscourge]

so smooth

It looks almost like a reversed Gif.
