Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
They did it! A successful landing on the drone ship out in the ocean!!
Very nice.
Excellent video too.
The CRS-8 launch is now being broadcast live.
CRS-8 Dragon on Livestream

I have to say that SpaceX has put an end to the idea that engineers are nerdy, unattractive and socially inept people (not that they ever were in reality). What a great group of intelligent young people! They give me hope.
WOW..... just WOW!!!!
I was thinking the same thing, a pretty woman and two very good looking guys,were the main announcers. If any organization can make being an engineer cool it is Spacex. I loved how they made a point of talking about it is ok if it ends up in a big fiery ball of flame, we still get valuable data.
I thought it probably was going to be ok when it made an almost 20 degree correction to vertical about 30' above the drone ship.
SpaceX launches are the ultimate in reality TV!
+1.
I admire the guy (pretty much the only one) and much respect for the entire team that's working for him.
But I wouldn't want to be him or work for him.
DD's best friend's SO works for him. He is a 20-something engineer. Incredibly long hours from what I hear.
This could be very interesting:
Thank heavens for SpaceX and Musk.
I visited Kennedy Space Center a couple of years ago and it was pretty depressing. That's the departure hub for NASA's manned space programs but instead of feeling futuristic the visitor center was almost entirely a tribute to 40+ year old accomplishments.
Glad to see someone stepping up and pushing forward. It's long past time we got out there again.

1966 - 1996. It wasn't work. We were just lucky to be there in that period of history.
heh heh heh -

Ho Hum..... Another successful 1st stage landing on "Of course I still love you".
