Fantastic! Getting the hang of this. Wonder how much difficulty(if any) the dark adds to the landing.
Btw, downloaded a new app called "Space Launch Now". Allows me to set up notifications based on launch company, provides details on each launch, and gives you multiple live stream links. |
Cool, thanks for the rec!

He's about to have the largest fleet of privately owned space vehicles. (actually, probably already does) Wonder if they are going to launch used rockets for the Mars mission in '18? Would make it a hell of a cheap demonstrator, using equipment that's already been paid for.

Good orbit, good deploy. And with that, I think I can say good night.

It was pretty exciting to watch it live. As in past launches, the camera kind of cut out due to interference, so it was pretty much black (pause) glow (pause) bright light (pause) black (pause) slow fade in to the Falcon sitting there and just hanging out. No big.

It's simultaneously exciting and sad that this is fairly mundane, but here ya go. Shots of yet another landed rocket.
