I can't believe I just watched the same two (2) rockets that launched the darn heavy thing came back and landed right in front of me ... Live :o

Curious as to the main booster.

Wonder if they put any air in the tires? Or would they just drill a hole in the side of each one?

Gargamel 02-06-18 04:09 PM

Word from the KSP forums is the core missed the barge.

Pretty amazing! Just in time as I have to leave for work. What a great day for space exploration!

Saw it on the News channel live.
It was great to watch

One thing is certain though

We are not going to hear

Someone or somebody has stolen the car radio, while it was in space
Or
Someone or somebody has stolen the car, while it was in space

Guess it will be
The car is lost in space.

Seems like it. If you switch the video to the second view, at 38:30 you hear someone say "We lost the center core".

Apparently, there's also a copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and a towel in the glovebox.

A question

What about the main booster, will this be recycled as the two help booster is ?

Supposedly that came from a Twitter suggestion to Elon. Cool on him.

And a curcuit board from the roadster:

That was the plan, it was supposed to land on an unmanned barge in the Atlantic, but it apparently had to ditch right before landing, splashing down 30m from the boat. I don't know if they can recover much, but we'll have to wait for official word, SpaceX's twitter feed is quite mum on it right now.

Thank you

I hope they will have success with this-´cause a spacerocket who are
100 % recyclable is the future.

Edit:
Friends I have a used Tesla Sports car for sale-Only 1 cent, yes you heard and read it correctly, only 1 cent.
The only thing is
You have to come and get the car by yourself, it's floating somewhere around Mars
