spacex 内の BrianPurkiss によるリンク SpaceX just did a "static fire" test - why is that steam/smoke rushing towards the rocket?

That's not smoke, that's the water-using sound suppression system in action.

In the future, can you post these kinds of questions in our pinned Ask Anything thread? Thanks!

Now the LRR, and we're good to go. SpaceX likes playing it close!

Nope. If we're lucky, someone in the area could Periscope it...

If they get it back in the hangar by tonight, they have all day tomorrow and most of Thursday to integrate the stack and roll it out.

The window probably doesn't open for a few more hours.

Because this thread will primarily be used during June. We're only a week out.

The latter. The May thread was nearing 2000 comments.

I'll add it, and probably drop it for the next campaign thread.

Give me a break. The Shuttle-derived launch vehicle / Constellation / SLS has been promising a launch in a few years for 20 years. It's been delayed far, far more than once. Renaming it doesn't mean the delays never happened.

You are aware that much more changed than "renaming" it? SLS is the newest iteration of NASA's heavy launch vehicle, but it's remained fairly on schedule and is currently further along than Ares V ever was.

It'd be fun to calculate the cost of OCISLY's propellant...

Propellant's like 200k of the tens of millions it takes to build and launch a rocket, using a few tons more than an ASDS landing is absolutely trivial when it results in higher success rates for landing and faster recovery.
