Nice... Now if SpaceX can get a "handle" on the landing we're golden...

I still believe SpaceX was incredibly shortsighted in abandoning the high-end toy rocket market. When Estes comes in with their fully reusable configuration that does VTOL, SpaceX will regret leaving all of that cold hard cash on the table. Mark my words!

That and the chocolate falcon egg market!
Rabbid SpaceX fans will never forgive them for that faux pas. So what if they melt on reentry, hasn't Elon ever heard of Smores?

I am a religious person so I mean no offense by the following only eye rolls and chuckles:
And on the 5th day after Easter the Falcon 9 rose from the pad bringing a payload of necessary supplies to those who reside in the heavens. It was said I the Falcon 9 will return, probably in a few minutes not far from where I left, fully intact to forgive mankind of its sins of inefficiency and expendability; to usher in a new age of low cost reusability for all.

Falcon v0.1. The rocket small enough to land on the JRTI v0.1 which is small enough to fit in your Easter basket (last post on page 2).
I had to go back to page 2 to get the joke.

Mmmmmm! Chocolate grid fins and legs!! An explosion of flavor!!
Especially if you fill it with a little Yukon Jack, flick your Bic on it and throw it at the side of your barge-shaped kitchen table!
KA-BOOMY goodness!

The people on this board are just too funny. I have been in tears for at least a couple minutes. Finally settled into the intermittent chuckle to type this. My favorite post in a long time. Kaboomy goodness! Here comes another uncontrollable laughing fit!

I'm a bit worried about the landing. The manifest swap means A.S.D.S. Just Read the Instructions will have to set sail weeks earlier than planned. This raises several questions;
Will the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship be ready? (It'd have to sail in less than a week).
Will the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship be willing? The first time it sortied, they threw an exploding F9 at it. The second time, it got pounded so badly by heavy seas and took damage. So, might it decide that, nope, it's not going out there? (It's autonomous, after all).

Current images in the ASDS thread from the cruise ship spy cam suggest it is being readied and looks like the major mod (extra steel wall at the bow) is done and all the bits that got wrecked by the seas are replaced. I'm quite sure it'll be ready to roll.

The idea of wanting a smoking hot rocket to land in your basket for the first time gives me unholy, tingly feelings.

Hopefully SpaceX has erased its memory.

CRS-6 was originally planned for April 10th. So I doubt it had an impact at all.

And Chris now says NET April 13 in the Update thread, so the barge is getting another extended vacation...
LOL...
