Cooked itself pretty good during the landing sequence.

Falcon Heavy launch tonight, 18:30 east coast time last time I checked. I’ll try and post up some more info when I get infront of a desk.

Yah side boosters are returning to land and they will try for the center on the ship again. These are all block 5 boosters.

Heh, they actually put out a sonic boom warning. I guess the wind is predicted to be off the water today. It was fairly noticeable the first time compared to normal launches because of the quadruple boom.
Launch time has been bumped to 20:00 eastern time (8pm)

I couldn’t see the final flare from my house because of the houses and trees, but I saw the rest, including the burns at the start of that video.
The sonic booms were unimpressive compared with the shuttle’s return, but having four instead of 2 is novel.

Future space junk!
They are flying very low orbits to come down quicker when they end their usefulness. They also supposedly have automatic collision detection.

I have automatic collision detection too! When something hits me, I know it.

Not at orbital velocities you dont brah. Your forehead colliosion detector would cease function, the moment it triggers, as well as the rest of you. Slowly dissipating clouds of carbon and water vapor tend not to do so great when it comes to receiving perceptions and acting upon them.
