Nomination for FH demo "silly" payload. A surfboard to be released into LEO and then re-enter. In honour of John Carpenter's greatest film.
You're spoiling the movie if you show us the ending of "Dark Star".
Mike Wagner just tweeted: SES 10 Ready for move. SpaceX crew gets faster, more efficient with each (in this case used) boosterHas anybody made note of recovery times (delegging, horizontalizing) for each returned booster?

If you are going to watch one John Carpenter film, I suggest They Live! Still relevant today although most certainly not on topic.

The booster from Iridium flight 1 might top them all - launch from both coasts.
Quote from: yokem55 on 04/09/2017 02:01 amThe booster from Iridium flight 1 might top them all - launch from both coasts.A Dickensian tale of an itinerant rocket booster, forced to travel where the work takes it. It has to brave inhuman working conditions, blackened and exhausted after each mission. Paired with a different child 2nd stage each time, who is cruelly sacrificed to the unforgiving needs of their master. It dreams of one day being put out to pasture when it's served its usefulness, but too many others of its kind are humiliatingly shorn of their appendages to be consumed in a final suicide mission.Historic indeed
There is no possible reason this should not work.
