HOLY SHIT!

IN-FREAKING-CREDIBLE!!!!!! Even though it failed, we just witnessed one the first steps in the extension of the existence of the human race.

ROFL

Well, it actually outperformed expectations! I fully expected them to have to abort it over water.

Need a code tweek I suppose.

Should hit the brakes a little earlier

Altitude is life, boys!!

So, where's SN9?

:)

My understanding is that it's actually REALLY close to ready to go. We could see it fly before the end of the year.

They cut the feed. Ugh.

the only thing it didn't do was land. It hit the landing pad on the dot. Just needed more propulsion to slow it down. I mean, when they assumed it would blow up during the flight, that was pretty impressive. SN9, you're up!

That was amazing. Congrats to the SpaceX team!!!

Can't wait to hear the debrief. I wonder if the two engines failed or it was intentional.

Awesome flight! Not a great landing but there is a lot to be learned from a failure like that.

Tim is still streaming with some pretty epic replays.

I THINK they lost an engine right before landing and the single engine couldn't quite keep up. You can see a little "burp" about 10 seconds before the big boom.

I think it had to be part of the test. At least two of them re-lit anyway.
