SpaceTARDS! SpaceX to Try Rocket Landing During Satellite Launch Today: Watch Live in 10 MINUTES!

Can someone PIN this? The rocket will be landing in about 4 hours.

Thx!

Thanks for the link TTM. If Space X can perfect landing on one of there barges, it will make there approach to space flight that much more affordable and flexible. As it will afford diversity to end mission goals. ( longer flights/bigger payloads, as the barges can be placed farther away from the launch point.)
On a side note the barges, called An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS), Have some odd names.
ie. " Of course I still love you ", and " Just follow the instructions ".

It is fun to watch and surprised that a 3rd party company is doing this and not nasa.

They're named after spaceships in a SciFi series.

Which one?

2 hours till launch and land

One more hour! They'll go live about 20 to 30 minutes before launch. Turn up the SPEAKERS, this will get you fired up until then!!!

Seriously? One Star! You're BANNED!

Culture ships are AIs and name themselves (and are badasses).
Banks had a lot of fun with it.
