Sweet, I live by a Spacex test facility 19 miles away and when they initiate test we feel it windows shake car alarms go off and everything.

Cool!
Space stuff never gets old. Nice to see some progress.

They are showing Spacex live on pad on NASA TV 105W C!

 

[fred555]

Its so foggy you can barely see the rocket.

 

[fred555]

Despite the fog and clouds, weather conditions are all green.

 

[navychop]

Waiting. Forgot and was afraid I'd miss it.

 

[Magic Static]

Wish I had one of those nice chairs in the control room there

 

[navychop]

Wife and I just discussing them. I say they look comfy, she says they look stiff.

 

[Magic Static]

Dang the sun popped out here and is melting the snow on my dish causing too high a water content and I'm loosing signal I'm going to have to run out there and broom the thing

 

[navychop]

I can (almost) see clearly now
The fog is (almost) gone!

 

[navychop]

Really bad angle now, with the venting obscuring the vehicle.

 

[navychop]

I wonder why the PQ and AQ are so miserable right now. Vertical streaks and choppy, unintelligible audio.

 

[Magic Static]

The old "Please Stand By"

Video from the barge froze seconds before craft was to land, not a good sign.

 

[rglore]

Hard landing, broke a leg and exploded.

 

[Magic Static]

Dang, it didn't stay upright
