Someone needs to call Chris, as it looks like he went to bed before the test.

The man with the vision gets the job; Good luck Longhorn John, just keep the ear piece a good distance from your ear, and be prepared for a few choice words coming your way!!1

Thanks Carl. News doesn't sleep for anyone.

2nd hot fire! Sounds like a good time for another round of SpaceX Kool-Aid!

Maybe we can make some SpaceX tea too with the exhaust of that first stage hovering over the water.

I got my F9 t-shirt yesterday, so I'm all ready.

The printed "tag" inside the back collar is in the shape of a Dragon. Nice touch.

When it lifts off , number of SpaceX launches will equal iPhone launches.

I'm just waiting for SpaceX to hire Machete to trim the nozzle of the upper stage engine this time.

"Machete trimmed ... RL-10"

Oh man...

I just realized the launch window on Saturday is 9am - 11am PDT. I will be at work and cannot watch it there. Could someone please post the flight video here? I have never missed a SpaceX flight and I'm kind of bummed out. I will make sure to bring my lucky SpaceX coffee mug to work.

There will be lots of copies of the flight uploaded to Youtube within minutes of the launch, you can bet on it.

Was going to build on the poetry but it looks like my prior post disappeared. I'll do this instead:

Yay SpaceX!

The band isn't rocking yet, but they are tuning their instruments.

Waiting for the guest of honor to make his official entrance.

Helodriver · « **Reply #418 on:** 09/26/2013 08:44 pm »

The guest nipped out for a walkabout, the pad is empty.

Usually when the star performer goes back to her pad, the show is over - but here it'll be about to begin.
