SpaceX successfully lands 2nd rocket on ocean barge

[BDforever]

oh well, allow me to reply on this elsewhere and another time.

let's keep this thread to discussing this latest achievement of spacex and the cutie at 0:40 mins in the op vid ( @Zibago @django @BDforever ).

@Levina , a thread where we can agree.

She looks like a lovely tennis player type, nice blonde hair and bubbly personalty with smile to make a mans legs go weak.

Anywho, f*ck yeah SpaceX!!!

But this time round the rocket was set for a geostationary transfer orbit, which would expose it to higher velocities and greater re-entry heating on its way back down. SpaceX had admitted that it was “unlikely” that the landing would be a repeat success—then it went ahead and nailed it anyway.

The rocket was carrying a JCSAT-14 communications satellite into space, which was successfully deployed by the Falcon 9 rocket.

3 camera angles of the barge landing

hmm...part of the turnaround time for these rockets is going to be the time it takes to retrieve them. Launched early Friday...at dock on Monday night...almost 4 days.

SpaceX making it look easy now they keep doing this it's going to start getting boring and mundane.

I would say next two milestones they need to do to top this achievement is

1) Launch a re-used Falcon 9 and it lands back successfully
2) Launch a Falcon Heavy and all three land successfully


going to be an interesting few years for SpaceX and the space industry

I just hope they can re-use the first stage at least 10 times at best 20

When the Falcon Heavy takes off in November lots of governments are going to be embarrassed. Not only about the payload capacity but also when 3 parts of it come back to land.

Falcon Heavy thrust will be 5.1M lbf at liftoff -- twice any rocket currently flying. It's a beast...

And that rocket is small compared to their next ones.

this is a good article and it just shows the fear that SpaceX competitors like NASA and the French have of a re-usable Falcon 9.
