This NASASpaceflight stream is up now: https://www.youtube.com/live/3nM3vGdanpw

...which has nothing to do with NASA the US government organization, or the NSF (FYI). It's just some independent streamers who apparently know you can't get trademark claims against you by the federal government.

Catch was successful again, very impressive.

They may have lost the second stage, though.

edit: the spacex stream just confirmed the loss.

Yes, very much looks like it.

I wonder how much of the second stage flight is autonomous and if they need to continually need to give it a go to continue, or if it aborts automatically after some time of lost telemetry. But maybe it already exploded anyways.

of course, no space x event is complete without the scam fake streams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1VbZoYSyzA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMG8BbUjwRk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-uQNSxqQHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PYuUj777a0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqsGPQnAP-M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAC4JzHqRk4

All of the downsides of a heavily censored and politically editorialized platform, with none of the anti-fraud upsides.

Telemetry showed them lose engines one at a time, which isn’t a great sign.

It is incredibly to me that Google doesn't seem to give a shit about this. It would be so easy to fix.

Feels like one SpaceX could and should deal with by DMCAing the channels. Even if getting people watching their official channel instead isn't that important to them, stopping people rebroadcasting their content whilst faking their brand identity to scam people feels like the most legitimate reason for sending takedowns going...

They make new ones each time. By the time the stream is over, they’ve already promoted their shitcoins and don’t care what happens to the channel.

I think that’s the normal shutdown order to reduce shock, the timing was exactly the expected second stage shutoff time if I understood it correctly.
