@ai6yr way way too high lol. If they did take a out Reaper at altitude they would need a laser approaching the megawatt class not the current state of the art Apollo which is 150 kw

Isn’t there an ISS Dragon capsule return tonight? Shortly before midnight?

@Weather_Rock_Wx @cvvhrn Possible, in about an hour and 40 minutes.

@Weather_Rock_Wx @cvvhrn Interestingly enough, the re-entry location is NOT there... typically it's farther out at sea and off the islands to the south. I don't know where to get that info, however. We can find it, though.
Show threadAI6YR BenFeb 27
@Weather_Rock_Wx @cvvhrn Hmm, sure a lot of things out there right now. Sally Ride seems possible. There's even a submarine pushing out AIS. I would expect one of the SpaceX ships but I don't see them at first glance.

hmm… FWIW, this just now:

The U.S. military shot down a U.S. government drone with a laser-based anti-drone system, an accident that prompted the FAA to bar flights on Thursday in an area around Fort Hancock, Texas. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/27/world/pentagon-laser-shootdown-accident/ #worldnews #pentagon #us #aviation #drones

Or was this the last time? hmm…

Pentagon shoots down government drone in Texas accident, congressional aides say

The incident prompted the FAA to bar flights on Thursday in an area around Fort Hancock, Texas.

MSN reported it undocked shortly after noon EST.

Now to decide whether to stay awake to watch for it, and listen for the sonic boom.

@Weather_Rock_Wx @cvvhrn I've got to work in the morning, so... will wake up and look outside if I hear the boom, lol.
