SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch webcast (live 12:45 PST)

Watching those two boosters land together was freaking amazing!! Well worth the watch if anybody missed it. :)

Someone noticed there was a camera feed on the mission control wall that shows the Center Core&#x27;s drone ship, after the smoke clears no ship can be seen:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Darkphibre&#x2F;status&#x2F;960990105581240321" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Darkphibre&#x2F;status&#x2F;960990105581240321</a><p>9:00 into the feed, it&#x27;s likely the core either missed or failed to land properly. Although the screen is partially out of view.

Sounds like they lost the center core (might just mean the signal its not clear), hell of a showing though the team should be really proud of the accomplishment.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;stevewdavens&#x2F;status&#x2F;960984330943258624" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;stevewdavens&#x2F;status&#x2F;960984330943258624</a><p>Original audio from the webcast: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=-B_tWbjFIGI&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=2304" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=-B_tWbjFIGI&amp;feature=youtu.be...</a>

Over a MILLION live watchers on this youtube link. Is that a record for youtube?

Wow, just witnessed history. The landing of the Falcons was seriously thrilling. David Bowie coming on as the payload headed towards its destination got me, have to say.<p>Congrats to everyone here from SpaceX – what an accomplishment.

Those rockets landing at the same time beats any scene in any sci-fi movie ever made

In a hundred million years, someone or something is going to find that car and be really confused.

The text on the dashboard of the Tesla - Don&#x27;t panic.

I’m willing to admit that even as a 40 year old man I still cried when she cleared the tower. That was beautiful.

I&#x27;m curious how the realized design that&#x27;s launching today compares to the Saturn V. This article from 2016 implies that the Saturn V has three times the payload capacity, but that the Falcon Heavy is twelve times cheaper to launch (adjusting for inflation), implying a fourfold advantage in cost efficiency: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.universetoday.com&#x2F;129989&#x2F;saturn-v-vs-falcon-heavy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.universetoday.com&#x2F;129989&#x2F;saturn-v-vs-falcon-heav...</a>

Unbelievable. The simultaneous booster landings were incredibly impressive feat. Outstanding launch and spectacular landings!<p>Screen shots from live feed: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;gh410" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;gh410</a>

Just, wow. That simultaneous landing was magical.

Can anyone tell me what the object moving through the right of the screen is at T+9:58? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;wbSwFU6tY1c?t=2392" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;wbSwFU6tY1c?t=2392</a>

I love the landing pad boat name &quot;Of course I still love you&quot;

I think it&#x27;s interesting that all of the Space X control team seem so young. My memory of the Apollo missions were that all the controllers were old farts who had been with NASA for at least 20 years. Maybe its because I was very young at the time and now I&#x27;m older. Or maybe it&#x27;s because you had to work for 20 years to be a controller at NASA and Space X is just not that old (yet).

Does anybody have a link to the technical webcast?

What happened to the center 1st stage though?

NASA needs better Marketing.

So why exactly would it orbit the sun for a billion years?

The marketing stunt is gonna be at the top for while.

So what&#x27;s left to confirm?

He&#x2F;they did it!

Amazing.
