3rd attempt. Last week's launch scrubbed. Yesterday's launch was scrubbed at less than 1 minute before launch.
Hopefully, today.

That looks like something from a 1950s B-movie.

It is good to see innovation coming back.

That wasn't supposed to happen like that, huh?
Notorio DEC 09, 05:56 PM
Did anyone have a Live link where someone was explaining what we were seeing, like the old Nasa flights used to have? The one I posted had a countdown with liftoff but nothing after that.

No, it was supposed to do the flip thing but came in a bit too fast right at the end.

"Landed" upright and right where they were supposed to tho.
