So nice seeing the union jack.

Shame they didn't get more time, they need to replace that suit of find a proper fix, it's the same one which leaked last time, not going to even try spelling their names.


Jason 3 live stream is now live on NASA TV, be the usual some live feed of the rocket mixed with lots of videos about mission and other such things.
Think it's 6:36? launch or somewhere around there.

They are going to try live streaming the attempt at barge landing, but might not be stable due to bandwidth.

Yeah am assuming it exploded then?

They didn't say but yes, it would not survive toppling over, it's not designed to take those types if stress.

Still on target, and Jason 3 mission is still on target. They're getting closer.

If they're going to land on a barge regularly, perhaps they'll have to purpose build something, which is semi submersable so it can compensate for the swell. However that would be a lot more than a 2nd barge, with fancy motors fitted.
