Falcon v1.2 Should be renamed v1.1 FF on the premise that the 1.2 designation is not confirmed. Avster2000NT ( talk) 00:12, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Is it delayed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.249.128.206 ( talk) 10:02, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
Is there any prospect of having a photo of the landing itself that meets our free content licensing requirements? It's a historic moment in spaceflight, as the sudden reduction in launch cost completely changes the economics of space exploration. -- The Anome ( talk) 14:33, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Did it complete a (sub) orbit or was the stage braked and returned? If the latter, how achieved - aerodynamically or mostly or entirely with engine thrust? If the latter, what portion of the first stage fuel was required for this, including the extra fuel required for initial lift? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmoorenh ( talk • contribs) 09:59, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Here is a stabilized video of the third of three burns related to bringing the booster back (the landing burn) on Falcon 9 Flight 20, 22 Dec 2015 (UTC), as it lands at Landing Zone 1. This is from a NASA source video, and was stabilized (in post-processing) by someone on YouTube named Jay DeShetler. Link is here.
Maybe someone with YouTube savvyness can ask DeShetler if they would be willing to upload the video to WikiMedia with an appropriate share and share-alike Wiki-friendly license so it could be used on wiki. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 23:53, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
What is the highest altitude reached by the Falcon first stage booster before descending back to Earth? Video shows stage separation at about 76 km, but booster continued to ascend on parabolic trajectory before descending back to KSC.-- Arado ( talk) 09:36, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
Here is a recording (link here) of the post-launch and post-landing teleconference with the press that Elon Musk gave. The audio has quite a bit of wind noise on the microphone; but you can hear everything the reporters heard. That YouTube audio was posted yesterday, 23 Dec 2015.
Today, someone has helpfully posted a full transcript of the recording. (link here). If you use any of this as a primary source to details about the launch, flight, landing, future plans, etc., you should recognize this is a primary source, and while okay to use for verifiability purposes in some cases, is not considered as good a source for Wikipedia as a secondary source, something written on by a reliable source (like a newspaper, or one of the space media journalists). Cheers. N2e ( talk) 10:28, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
There is nothing in this article that explains why this is important or notable. Seems to be related to reducing the cost of space flights? That should be explained here. T-bonham ( talk) 22:33, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
I see nothing about the risks to residents in the surrounding area from a landing, risks that are inherent in such a procedure. Thousands of people live in that part of Florida. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.249.146.8 ( talk) 13:46, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
Why was this section cut [2]? The tone is appropriate, the fancy words are in quotes. -- Ysangkok ( talk) 15:31, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
Should be moved. Nergaal ( talk) 10:58, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
