I know this is mentioned in another thread somewhere but, in case some have missed it and are interested in watching over loud and far too happy american people - the launch should be happening in 20 minutes or so.

Yep. I had visions of the main booster smashing through the landing boat thing when the camera went off but seems not.

Great use of technology. Proves just how accurate GPS can be - wish somebody would tell me car sat nav that !

Yeh last time I saw the camera going off at that stage it ended in failure. Watching the first two land side by side was pretty cool.

The conspiracy theorists will be having wet dreams over the camera going offline

So you do know the only people who have rockets capable of that sort of thing are governments and super-villains? Makes you think.

I don't like or trust Elon Musk but watching the Rockets touch down after the launch is the coolest use of technology I've ever seen. It nevers gets old and must be doing amazing things to inspire young people into STEM.

Yup. Don't know that much about the guy, but I'll allow him some lunacy/narcissism for what he's achieved. Delivered the leading payment system for the online age, built Tesla and has NASA knocking on his door with his self-landing space rockets.

I've built a coupe of planters out of decking.
