    This is the one expected to blow up... it's still in development and the engines are a bit unstable.

    I read the payload in an old Tesla Roadster.

    Cool as hell.

    Still waiting to see if the center section landed upright.

    Watching those boosters land was f'n amazing. Like, can't believe its happening in my lifetime amazing.

    I, too, am wondering what happened on the drone ship. Had to drop the feed momentarily.

    Watching STS-123 blast off from a Titusville overpass at 2:28am in March 2008 was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

    Seeing those two boosters land simultaneously is second. That was FREAKING AWESOME.

    I guess the audio feed continued after the video quit and someone is heard saying, we lost the center core.:dunno:

    I wonder if it took out the ship, too - or at least a chunk of it.

    The video feed was fine... right up to the point it wasn't. Lots of smoke.

    When the 2 boosters were coming in, it looked to me like they were too fast. Turns out, they weren't. But, if that core didn't slow down... that's a big boom.
