Yeaaah bitch, science!
Stuck the landing!
Looks like they nailed it. Freaking bad ass!
It's going to be a good day. ;D
A good day indeed! I can't wait until they relaunch one of these, then bring it back again.
I also wonder when they'll start testing the Dragon capsule. 2018 was an ambitious tweet about going to Mars...gotta start testing the capsule soon.
I can't wait for the first Falcon Heavy launch, they're going to try to land all 3 stage 1 boosters. It's going to be badass.
Three different angles of last week's landing. Hottest and fastest landing yet
That skidding on the second video, really puts you on edge.
Awesome footage! Yeah, that little slide after touching down is a bit of a nail biter. Pitching of the barge causing it to slide perhaps? Impressive that the rocket never flinched.
Another launch today, not exactly sure when. http://www.spacex.com/webcast
Latest update:
Update: SpaceX says its launch team is still "finalizing review of vehicle data and check outs," so the Falcon 9 will not launch tonight at the opening of the launch window, at 5:40pm ET. A new launch time has been set for 7:36pm ET, just four minutes before the launch window closes. The webcast below is not expected to begin until about 20 minutes before the rocket actually launches.
Bah, nevermind.
Out of an abundance of caution, launch postponed until no earlier than tomorrow for addtl data review - Falcon 9 & spacecraft remain healthy
Elon:
There was a tiny glitch in the motion of an upper stage engine actuator. Probably not a flight risk, but still worth investigating.
Thanks to astronaut movies, I automatically equate "tiny glitch" to SPACESHIP GO BOOM
30 minutes!
