It's an experimental test flight so it could explode shortly after take off with large parts heading off for miles in different directions, some landing on the launch engineers, some on crowds of American spectators and some on a nearby nuclear power station - Kabooooom! causing a chain reaction that wipes out the entire power grid and someone at the White House mistakenly thinks they're under attack from North Korea and retalliates with all their nukes starting WW3........or it might go off without a hitch. Watch again.....29mins for take off, 37 mins for landing.
My mate was at the space centre gift shop waiting for the tours to start when the last one blew up in August. I missed it by 2 days . bugger !
Oooo, I'm starting to get a bit excited - hope they did a good job adjusting the belts/valve clearances.
Only spoilt by the incessant cheering... Boosters were fantastic. How on earth do they control basically a falling drainpipe to land the right way up??
booster landing footage shows unit furthest from camera had really late 'undercarriage' deploy compared with nearest unit!!
