Clear weather resulted in spectacular video of orbital return and landing on the barge.

The mission isn’t over until the spacecraft have been inserted in the appropriate orbit.

My son and I visited the Kennedy Space Center on Jan 1. They showed a video of a SpaceX rocket landing on a barge. It was pretty cool.

Say what you like about Elon Musk, he knows how to get big, challenging things done.

I think I mentioned that the 2nd stage was in Coast phase to put the payload in orbit...

It’s not like rocket science or anything - shows why private sector is much more efficient than NASA, who’s primary mission these days includes climate scam and reaching out to muslims.

Exactly. And that’s a trait shared by people like Trump, Steve Jobs, and Joe Pesci if you know the routine by George Carlin.

While NASA worries about Global Warming

Fuel is cheaper than rocket motors and certified high-pressure tanks.

But for true heavy lift you need every drop.

Hard-working, tax-paying, law-abiding, middle class Americans are becoming proud of America once again.

Now to correct our many social perversions.
