Thanks Barry. I see it's SpaceXs first attempt at landing the first stage on land - fingers crossed!

:sadeyes: Awww man!

Abort!


T minus 23.5 hrs and counting

[glend]

Yeah, scrubbed till tomorrow. Faulty valve or something, or because i go up to watch it.

[sn1987a]

:D take 2 in about an hour!

Watching the view from the 1st stage as it landed would have to be one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time!

[Benjamin]

Agree Chris. That journey back to earth of the first stage was really something.

Very cool landing - so smooth it looked like the video was running backwards. Conspiracy theorists will love it.

[PCH]

That's freakin amazing!

Wait for Falcon Heavy later on this year :D

We could be doing this off Cape York! :mad2:

[PCH]

I just watched this. At risk of sounding dopey, is this an animation or is it actual footage of stuff already happening at Cape Canaveral?

[sn1987a]

It's an animation of the heavy duty version Falcon rocket system they're planning to launch. :D
