Yeah, I would have gladly kept watching from that shore view. I switched to the NASA feed, but they signed off soon after too.Wow that was way cool!!!
What's with the "we don't have any cameras on the recovery boats so we're ending coverage"? You can clearly see the whole thing from the land-based camera.
So far much for landing 2200m offshore. Forget the recovery ship - they'll just need a jetski and tow rope to get back to the beach.
It's probably farther out than it looks - telephoto lenses tend to compress the distance visually. If you go back to the video from the Dragon itself on the way down, it looked to be a good distance offshore.
I was also confused by that statement. There is no one in the capsule. Who exactly needs to "hang tight"? I guess he was referring to the SpaceX personnel involved in the test."Hang-tight everyone" is that the point when they were crapping themselves?
I especially liked the the silky smooth separation. Was that a little air-brake that popped out?
That capsule got out of there quick! I'm so used to the ponderously slow launch of a large rocket. This took off like a bat out of hell. I will be curious to find out how many G's were pulled.
After the burn was completed, one guy says that it was "lightly below nominal." Which is not nominal. So something went wrong with the trajectory possibly, since the burn certainly seemed the right length of time.
Test ended 8 seconds too early according to NSF Chris.
Still it only like 200-300m offshore. You can tell something is astray when their voices become much quieter when calling the distance values.
Very cool nonetheless - I especially liked the the silky smooth separation. Was that a little air-brake that popped out?
