Good eh. And Blue Wotsit is on its third trip. Exciting times!

Not just on a barge, on the ocean,,,,, but on a barge on a heavy, windy, choppy ocean!

That's what I'd call coming in for a hot/fast landing . Thought they would use a chute to help wash off some decent speed before releasing it for the final alignment with the ship. From January....

We will stop the boats

Interesting is to see what other ( the second stage) is doing at same time.

If we convert kilometers/ h to nautical miles it give us almost 10,000 knots !Not bad speed after just few minutes of flight.

If our windsurfer or kiter could do just 50 we needs combined 200 kiters and windsurfer effort to do the same.

Is this kinda like a Harrier jump jet
