No way. The center section was still way the shite up there when ghe first 2 landed.
Something happened on that ship when the feed got cut, so it was there, at least some of it was there for some amount of time.

A company just launched a convertible into space and recovered the booster rockets while we watched in HD from the rockets BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THE FUTURE

I really think so. The feeds all over social media and the crowd of young employees cheering it on. The production has a vibe to it that is exciting and cool, not nerdy and boring.
Now will todays test pilots and astronauts be as cool as the Mercury guys?

Solar orbit around Mars. Should stay in orbit for about 1 billion years before it decays. Not sure if it will be consumed by the sun or crash into Mars, but frankly, i don't give a damn either.

Elliptical orbit around the sun... that will take it out as far as Mars.
Fair winds and following seas, Rocket Man.

Good save. I'll leave my incorrect post as is to preserve the ignorance.

How great will it be when all of Florida is a paved launch pad.

That is absolutely amazing. So much so, in fact, that it doesn't look real (looks completely CGI'd). It's pretty incredible that that is real life.

Not a chance.

Especially for something that was falling from the sky faster than the speed of sound a few seconds before...

The tweets from SpaceX and Elon Musk have said nothing about the center core. Considering how quickly they've announced things about the side cores, and tweets since then, I'd imagine the center core had a bad fate.
Yeah. SpaceX doesn't want to take any shine off the fact they're about to lob a car toward fricking MARS' ORBIT.
The launch is done. The mission is not and they want to keep people focused on the CAR GOING TO MARS CROSSING ORBIT, not a missed landing that is a financial matter that isn't crucial to this particular mission.

When I saw it on a TV with the sound off earlier, I thought it was a CGI rendering of what they hoped to do. Never could I have imagined that the damn things would touch down simultaneously in real life.
