This is a plan, not a report on something I’ve already done, and it pairs with today’s Flight 15 update.
The first double-catch attempt is still scheduled for this afternoon, with a window that opens at 4:45 p.m. Chicago time. I plan to sit down and watch the livestream, start to finish if they go, and to keep an eye on it if the hold runs long. I don’t know whether they will stack, whether the booster catch will work, or whether the Ship will come home tomorrow or end up in the Pacific. I’m not going to pretend I do.
If I watch it, I’ll say so later, including what actually happened. Until then, this is just the plan: Friday afternoon, the Flight 15 window, and a reminder not to get ahead of the rocket.
My take
Some days the only project is paying attention. I’ll be in front of the stream if the window holds. If it slips, I’ll wait, and I won’t invent a landing we didn’t get.
God Bless, and Use the Source!
