ππ°οΈ"The hidden story behind one of SpaceXβs wettest and wildest launches" by @ArsTechnica/@SciGuySpace - 10 years ago today, #NASA #CRS3 launch to #ISS caused questions about dirt splashed on rocket. (I was there with #NASASocial.) https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/04/the-hidden-story-behind-one-of-spacexs-wettest-and-wildest-launches/ #NewSpace #SpaceX #Falcon9
Also at #NASA #CRS3 launch 10 years ago, I asked in post-launch news conference how much air&land area they expected to close when a rocket would be coming back down to land at the Cape. Practically sci-fi topic then, normal now. Answer by #SpaceX: yet to be decided but probably no more than for launch. #NewSpace
I was among @NASASocial #SocialMedia reporters for #SpaceX #CRS3 launch at Cape Canaveral 10 years ago today. At the time I posted my own photo of the mystery dirty water plume splashing up from the flame trench onto the rocket. https://twitter.com/ikluft/status/457254019287633921 #NewSpace #SpaceX #Falcon9

black plume at engine start - some think possibly rainwater in flame trench. #NASASocial #CRS3 #SpaceX3 #newspace
In 2014 when I attended a #NASASocial to cover #SpaceX #CRS3 #CargoDragon launch to #ISS, #NASA gave a tour of the Vehicle Assembly Building. There's an #STS107 sign on the wall where recovered parts from Columbia were stored after the investigation. #DayOfRemembrance #space #history
When you apply for a #NASASocial social media press pass, set expectations appropriately...
* You pay for your travel to Florida for the launch.
* Rocket launch schedules can and often do change.
In 2014 I made 3 trips to Florida to cover #CRS3 cargo launch to ISS. My pic:
