Time-lapse video...

Keep replaying over and over again. Can't believe we are finally this close!

Awesome! I read that they are planning on landing the two boosters back at the Cape (at the same time) and the primary booster on the barge. That's going to be epic!!

Yeah, I really hope they have increased their streaming quality. It's good, but the best stream they was for one of the first successful barge landings when NASA had a chase plan recording the video. Would really love to see that as well as good stream of the 2 returning to launch site.

That's hilariously phallic. ROFL

ROFL

Just a little bit!

Heavy was lowered and they removed the boosters this afternoon. Not sure why. It was very windy at the Cape today.

Really? First-hand?

Thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole with this! I ended up watching the full interview, and then several others by Elon.

The guy is so interesting to listen to, his vision for the stages of space exploration is fascinating. Putting 2 craft on mars in 2022 with 2 manned missions and 2 supply mission in 2024!

Sharing his mining and boring technology for underground settlements, eventual terraforming efforts...

The BFR rocket will be amazing

I'm kind of out of touch this weekend with friends in town, but I'd imagine it'll go up and down a few times as they test things out and make tweaks. I'm hoping for a launch by end of January.

Yep!

This flow was for the “Fit Checks” a new rocket usually undergoes to provide data on rollout and erection at the pad. This was the first time the modified TEL had taken the full stack to the pad. No propellant loading was conducted, although the vehicle may have been “powered on” to aid the checkouts. “Power On” is one of the first items on the checklist for a launch day.

24 hours later the rocket was lowered back to horizontal and will now head into the flow for its Static Fire test.

This test is currently expected to take place on January 6, although – as always – these dates can move around due to numerous factors such as readiness, range authority and weather.
