Fogged in here, guess I'm watching from the laptop. No chance of seeing it flyby as it stalks the east coast. Go Falcon 9!

The poll was much better - the SpaceX team is really improving.

You can just listen to the comm and see how much better these guys and gals are getting.

Yes - it sounds smoother, more confident.  You can tell they busted some arse.
Do you mean compared to Saturday?
You can talk about all the great things you can do, or want to do, in space; but unless the rocket scientists get a sound understanding of economics (and quickly), the US space program will never achieve the greatness it should.

Yeah, I set my alarm for 3:00 and finally became conscious at 3:20.

Go SpaceX!
The Space Age is just starting to get interesting.

In July 2011 I got to stand next to this very vehicle in the Space X hanger. Now, I will see it fly, albeit over the net. Via condios, Falcon/Dragon!!! :)

But not Fox, strangely. At the end of the Shuttle era, they were the only ones, virtually.
