Three-engine burn on the landing attempt tonight. It'll be a hell of a sight if they can get it to work. The deceleration has to be insane.

Should be a pretty crash at night.

I'm pretty disappointed they never released any video of the last one. I know it must not've been pretty, but it'd still be fun to see.

Staying up for this one. Have watched "I'm on a Boat" a dozen times to get psyched. :)

Although I heard we won't have a chase plane for the landing footage this time? Apparently the last one was provided by NASA.

I'm thinking about taking a week off this winter to go see the first FH flight.

That'd be a great time! I've been tempted to do the same, but I worry a bit that I'd plan the whole trip and it would end up getting delayed so long that I wouldn't see it. :)

I've got 4 weeks of use or lose this year and plans to spend only 1. I'm sure I could do some fishing for most of that time. :D

It's always so intense. Don't blow it up!

unlurking 05-05-2016 11:30 PM

Nice!

DaFace 05-05-2016 11:30 PM

Got it again!!!!

unlurking 05-05-2016 11:31 PM

Just insane. SpaceX is pure awesome. Can't wait for some HD video of that landing.

Man...perfect landing too. Right dead in the center.

Hopefully it doesn't take TOO long to get some high quality video. The burn has to be incredible.
