Anywhere in the solar system? Okay, show me Jupiter.

I'm sure they could land it there, but I'm less optimistic about it ever taking off again...

One way? At least you would want out to stretch your legs after the cramped trip.:)

Exciting times man!

The U.S. Air Force on Wednesday awarded billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX an $83 million contract to launch a GPS satellite, breaking the monopoly that Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) and Boeing Co (BA.N) have held on military space launches for more than a decade.

Not particularly exciting in terms of science, but a big step to ensuring long-term financial stability. :thumb:

I think it suggests a bright future for space exploration. What was left of the old mold has officially been broken.

It it OK that I watched that looping GIF for 3 minutes wondering when MECO was? Or in this case would that be PLSCO?

360(ish) view of the landing from the barge. (You can click and move your mouse around, or if you're on a phone, move it around.) It's much calmer than I would have guessed.

Looks like we're on for an attempt tomorrow late night. Another water landing, but the difficulty level is a bit higher than the last one, so no guarantees of another success.

I'll probably try and stay up just for fun, but if they have to delay for any reason, that'll be it for me.

there is so much debris in 120 miles of our atmosphere, that space flight to moon is impossible?

DaFace 05-04-2016 09:48 AM
Scrubbed already due to expected weather. Now aiming for tomorrow night.

DaFace 05-05-2016 04:12 PM
Barring setbacks, we're on for late tonight.
