Approaching second burn.

 

[cebri.one]

If they had landed successfully we would know by now. Low hopes.

But getting the mission done is what matters most.

 

[Jezbollah]

Second stage burn startup successful. Excellent.

Edit: And shutdown. Good burn.

 

[Disxo]

That was good, hope the deploy doesnt have any problems.

 

[Oriel]

SES-9 is away.

 

[Jezbollah]

Perfect deployment. Outstanding job.

 

[Staab]

Payload successfully separated and in GTO, job well done Falcon9 !

 

[Disxo]

Mission succesful! Awesome job guys.

 

[cebri.one]

SUCCESS¡¡¡

 

[cameron]

Well done, SpaceX. The abundance of caution was worth it.

 

[Oriel]

Bodes well for the future and proves the nay-sayers wrong. Hopefully we'll get word on the first stage's status soon though. But as always that is pure gravy. The mission was a complete success. Congrats to SpaceX.

Darn.

 

[Disxo]

Thats sad but still impressive.

 

[HellBlazer]

Damn... seemed pretty close though. Maybe next time!

That's too bad, hopefully we get some details soon.

 

[Oriel]

So what's the next mission, presumably CRS-8?

Yup.

Scimemi: SpaceX CRS-8 launch tentatively scheduled for Mar 30, but yet to be finalized; waiting on when SES-9 launches.

 

[Lunar FC]

Well hopefully we get another good explosion video out of it.

[Oriel]

Yup.

That's some turnaround.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

That's some turnaround.

Well minus the delays it would have been what 6 weeks?

I missed launch cause I was still at work. Any videos of failed landing yet?

Elon Musk @elonmusk
Rocket landed hard on the droneship. Didn't expect this one to work (v hot reentry), but next flight has a good chance.
