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

Awww man!

Abort!

T minus 23.5 hrs and counting

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

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!

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.

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?

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