I rekkon..

 

I'm not saying I was there but

 

Very cool!
So exactly what does that craft do? What are its capabilities?

 

Very cool

 

Ax-3

Compare with:

 

Good one, if you don't know already, I can't tell ya.

 

I’ll keep my opinions under my on that.

 

So I guess the 2026/27 landing is not certain:

After I4 and with the Polaris Dawn announcement, I was thinking it could’ve been Jared….

They released the chase plane footage from OFT-2 but of course they deleted all of the hot stage and flip footage per request from Spacex so it just shows some launch footage, skips ahead to in-flight and suddenly termination. Doesn’t show meco or anything after except booster detonation cloud.

I’d guess this is a fit check and dry run prior to WDR. If NSF is correct about their change of opinion on the shielding of clamp hdwr now no longer being replaced that delay might no longer be an issue but the break room roof is still several days away from being poured. I’m doubtful they’d SF S28 before then. Plus, there’s still plenty of tank farm plumbing work to do if they want to include any of that in the WDR. I’m inclined to think that they wanted the space in MB-1 to start stacking B-14 rings and this stack doesn’t presage anything more dramatic. I’m guessing the road closures get canceled.

 

Lord of the Rings geeks* at JPL, who'da thunk?

Building a large, human occupied station notwithstanding, the Hubble Servicing Missions were some of the most significant Shuttle missions flown:
