Of course, video craps out right as landing should be taking place.

Well, that was anti-climatic to lose the camera feed just before it either lands or crashes into the drone barge ship.

Yeah, kinda stunk. Although, I am encouraged to see the advancement of space technology continuing in the US, even if it's moving to the private sector.

It would be cool to see another space race, but this time between NASA and SpaceX. First to Mars wins.

So did it land this time?

I do think it's inevitable they land one.

When I saw the Martian I kind of laughed at how China was the other agency that could help out when I think right now the more realistic future would be SpaceX or even Amazon helping out. In terms of cost they are crushing everybody to a ridiculous extent.

They had their first successful landing in December.

Except their spokes people were a cross between E! and the ShamWow guy. :spinny:

No word on it landing, lost the feed from the barge when it would have happened. I think they did land one, then it tipped over.

It landed on the droneship but harder than expected which broke a landing gear.

I prefer to think of him as the Slap Chop guy:

Bump: Satellite deployment coming up, back live


Or not, lost signals

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Jason-X would be much better.

So the rocket science is easier than broadcasting it?:twitcy:
