Just says FH stage two on the above feed can you post the one you are watching svp?.

I wonder whats been modified with the car? For instance surely those tires would explode at this altitude, and on one angle it appears much of the front sub-frame is missing, because you could see right through the wheel well to Earth. (Amazing shots though, dont get me wrong!)

I hope Elon remembered to pack the car with enough beer and chips for a loooong road trip

no longer live. 4+hours of the car in space.

As I said on another thread.........
I cant help but think that 80,000 years from now after the next global reset some conspiracy theorists will claim that there is a car orbiting the Sun and Mars.

Center core was lost...

SpaceX confirms it lost the center core of the Falcon Heavy



SpaceX pulled off quite the feat today when it launched the Falcon Heavy rocket. What's more, it landed the two flanking boosters in perfect synchronized formation. But the fate of the core booster was unclear; now it appears that the center booster, which was supposed to land on a drone ship, was lost.

Elon Musk said on a conference call with reporters that the launch "seems to have gone as well as one could have hoped with the exception of center core. The center core obviously didn't land on the drone ship" and he said that "we're looking at the issue." Musk says that the core ran out of propellant, which kept the core from being able to slow down as much as it needed for landing. Because of that, the core apparently hit the water at 300MPH, and it was about 100 meters from the ship. "It was enough to take out two thrusters and shower the deck with shrapnel," Musk said. That should be worth seeing on video: "We have the video," Musk confirmed, "it sounds like some pretty fun footage... if the cameras didn't get blown up as well."

All in all.. still an historic launch...

Loved that 4hr footage.
Just shows you the amount of debris that gets lit up whilst floating around.
Also what's the disc shape around the 30 min mark?

I was thinking more along the lines of...

Wow. Seems we have much to understand as species. I suppose now we can get on with it again.

Awesome. Now I understand why I like David Bowie so much. There must be a vein in his music that touches like souls or something.

Stunning, eh?
