First stop - Cape Canaveral - 16 Dec 2019.
\nSpace-X (CEO Elon Musk) was having a launch that night off Cape Canaveral something we all wanted to see, but mainly Derek being our techie guy.
\nWith rocket launches, there are two stages.
\nThe first stage- the bottom half detaches and lands on the ship or the shore. For the launch we watched it landed on the ship.
\nSecond stage - The rocket leaves the earths atmosphere, at this stage it has two payload farings, (which is a shield or nose cone that goes over the satellite to protect it as it leave the atmosphere.) Once out of the atmosphere the farings come off and they are supposed to be caught in big nets suspended over ships. Ours landed in the sea near the ship and were collected, these can still be reused for non sterile payloads like starlink internet satellites.
\nAmazing to think that they can pin point the landings so accurately.
\nDisclaimer - Something to that effect, I am not the techie one.<\/strong><\/p>\n
