Any updates on Stage 2 reusability? Is that even possible?
-
-
-
It's going to take some serious reengineering of the second stage. Look for fairing re-use first.
-
Bringing back fairing will need it to be attached to boosters right? Or it may roll into Dragon for it's return, else it'd be crazy tough!
-
Supposedly several fairing halves have been recovered from the past several missions.
-
Didn't know that, thanks for filling in. So when Elon says complete reusability, he means it!!
-
Yep. Falcon Heavy demo later this year should be exciting. All 3 cores will make recovery attempts. Good times.
-
I'm especially looking forward to this too!So will they send up an empty rocket to test the theory on landing 3 cores?
-
It sounds like the payload will be a mass simulator. Side boosters will return to LZ1, center core will land on OCISLY.

Nope. Stage 2 of the vehicle that brought Dragon into orbit. There's a photo from stage 2 of Dragon.

@elonmusk how many hours into the flight to get this view? -
Not sure, but the stage was performing correction maneuvers when over Europe, around 10-20 minutes or so after the launch.

Some amateur footages showed the seperation sequence over UK
