Wow! Just wow! The hairs stood up on my neck!

I think Dragon should go over UK in a little while. Does anyone know when?

Nice backlit view.

Wow. I can't type. One post of congrats each as we're out of the main events now. There will be replays and such of course, but it's our tradition. Some don't like it, but most do. Getting one post on a historic thread is a nice touch.

We are incredibly busy but the servers are holding! We're keeping a close eye on it.

That moment when the rocket cut into the frame, about 20 times larger than I was expecting it to be....

Nuttin' to it.

I can't watch streaming on my work computer so I turned to my new best friend - my iphone! Watched the whole thing live on the iphone. Pleased for both SpaceX and myself because now I don't have to miss the live action. And what action it was. OMG! Fantastic! Really glad I got to watch it

CONGRATULATIONS TO SPACEX!!!
