Missed by a few hundred meters, but fairing landed intact in water. Should be able catch it with slightly bigger chutes to slow down descent.

Made it back from space and fairing parafoil just deployed. Now trying to catch it ...

Going to try to catch the giant fairing (nosecone) of Falcon 9 as it falls back from space at… https://t.co/CVS2PoaJah

@journoanirban @Uber @dkhos @HyperloopOne @hyperlooptt @vccircle @vccstartups If you love drones above your house, you’ll really love vast numbers of “cars” flying over your head that are 1000 times bigger and noisier and blow away anything that isn’t nailed down when they land

@DeadlyBananas @MichaelAVaughn Not sure. I let @jack know, but it’s still going. I literally own zero cryptocurrency, apart from .25 BTC that a friend sent me many years ago.

@edeggermont That’s just random

If anyone is curious, the name was inspired by The Fault in Our Stars

High altitude wind shear data shows a probable 2% load exceedance. Small, but better to be paranoid. Postponing launch to tomorrow, assuming winds are better then.

Today’s Falcon launch carries 2 SpaceX test satellites for global broadband. If successful, Starlink constellation will serve least served.

@lorengrush @T28058389 @VP @blueorigin @ulalaunch @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace Strange though. Delta IV Heavy has half the payload of Falcon Heavy and the BO rocket doesn’t exist yet.

@angilly I don’t get the little ship thing. You can’t show up at Mars in something the size of a rowboat. What if there are Martians? It would be so embarrassing.

@Teslarati Adding software feature to open glovebox automatically when car comes to a stop after a crash. Will look at bonding a thin plastic sheet to the front or back of screen.

@doug_ellison @dsfpspacefl1ght Found the source of the problem. The NASA database has the Falcon Block 1 performance. Version currently in production and set to fly in a few months is Block 5. SpaceX GNC team is submitting updated numbers.

@kerrbones @nextspaceflight Not enough ignition fluid to light the outer two engines after several three engine relights. Fix is pretty obvious.

@EmreKelly @nova_road @nextspaceflight East, to support high flight rates for F9 and dual ocean landings for FH side boosters
