SpaceX will launch a Falcon 9 rocket in about half an hour. Weather forecast is 90% go.
They will attempt to land the first stage on a drone ship in the Pacific Ocean.
The streaming will start 15 minutes before the launch. You can watch it live here: youtube.com
Whad do you guys think about SpaceX and space exploration in general?
Wait, so what are they hoping to accomplish/learn from doing this?
whether they have the precision to guide a huge rocket into an even huger target
like your moms cunt
Well it's just a commercial mission to send a satellite. The real deal comes with landing the first stage back.
They do that because if they can recover it, the costs of sending shit to space goes drastically down.
Elon Musk lubs dose gubment bucks, so he'll flip-flop to whatever's trending. Mmm, dose gubment bucks.
The earth is flat! REEEEEEEEEE
Everything is still go both for launch and landing
It will get really interesting this year when they launch the falcon 9 heavy. Elon said that it probably woun't make it. I really hope that it works because that would be such a leap forward in space travel.
We need to make the rocket explode with MEME MAGIC.
KEK WILLS IT
Sitchin did it.
>huger

Yeah! Really looking forward to that
It caught on fire
It's just water vapor from the vents. Don't worry
thx for sharing btw, it's nice to watch user
I hope it's successful
Liftoff!
OH SHIT, IT BLEW UP?
I didn't know Elon Musk posts here
They have almost nailed the landing the first stage thing, but landing it on the ocean it's really tricky. So maybe it goes boom
samefag
First stage separation. In a few minutes, they will try to land it.
Huh?
not even close
Doesn't prove shit. Nice dubs though.
ssshhhh
...
why the fuck is earth not looking flat there?
is this fake?
Totally fake. It's just Kerbal Space Program with some mods
First stage landed!!
For a moment I thought it's going to miss
yay it landed. the 15th
no one cares, where are the fuckin aliens?
Well, it was fun. Thanks for everything anons.
I'll post again on September 7th for the next one
Elon musk is the alien
it landed? i only saw an interrupted video, and then it cut off before the stage 1 had chance to fall over
fake. right camera is showing nothing landed
Right camera got destroyed when it landed.
right. now having backup. maybe the whole landing platform is sinking right now. seems to be made out of cheese if that little hot air destroys electronics on it
"It appears we have lost connection to the cameras"
watch again. the falcon cam comes back, the platform one doesn't
