Orbcomm would be another SpaceX milestone. Go, guys!

Way to go SpaceX! Congrats to all, even if the astros are ones that get to eat all the ice cream...

This is the first F9 to launch with no last-second holds/scrubs, right?

Congrats to SpaceX for another successful launch! Though I'm hoping CRS-2 launches in daylight so we can see Falcon 9/Dragon in all their space-bound beauty

Congratulations SpaceX!
I hope we get to see this kind of routine a lot of times!

Engine cluster view is amazing

Night launch really shows it off!

I believe so, and I think it's also the first time they've rolled out the vehicle on launch day. Previously they did it the day before, if I'm not mistaken.

NASA tv still has coverage.

Boy, did I ever pick the wrong feed (NASA) to watch the launch. Watching the SpaceX webcast via the DVR feature now and that roll control nozzle really had a workout on this launch, it wasn't used nearly as much on the previous flight.

Still up to F9 to relight and boost the Orbcomm to a higher apogee, but hey, they managed to hit the planned T-0 again.

I'm looking at my downloaded video files.

Way to go SpaceX!!!! Four great launches in a row. Can't wait for the next launch. Does anyone know about when the next Falcon 9 is schedualed?

CRS-2 in January.

4 successful launches! Does anyone know what the most successful rocket is currently?

rickl · « **Reply #159 on:** 10/08/2012 01:08 am »

After years of making do with the built-in computer speaker, I finally broke down and bought a set of external speakers last week. That subwoofer sure came in handy tonight!
