DocM Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Yeah, the space and social media will go bonkers. Then it's nose to the grindstone for another launch shortly after the holidays. It's possible SES-9 will go at KSC before Jason-3 on the 17th at Vandenberg.

Unobscured Vision Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 OT: Hey, DD? You folks up there in Maple Leaf Land have some wonderful chip flavors. I'm enjoying some All Dressed Up as I type this ... rather good, I must say. We can't get that down here in Michigan, and it's a limited run so I thought I'd pick up a small bag. They're delish. BOT: Yes, yes the nonkers will reach epic proportions .. SpaceX's Value will go through the troposphere. Both deserved, when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I was missing was Lahey's Brown Pale and a curious green leafy substance that has a peculiar odor .. but since I don't partake in adult beverages or in peculiarly-smelling smoky things (and I doubt anyone reading the Science Forum here at Neowin does either) that kinda "leaves" in the Hockey and the All Dressed chips. So here's to ya, bud. Draggendrop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) The FAA license has been issued for an F9 FT stage landing at LZ-1. KSC won't allow media cameras on LZ-1 over concerns about RFI from remote controls etc. Unknown if SpaceX will stream it. I'd bet there will be telephoto lenses aimed at LZ-1 from literally everywhere. So far, so good. Unobscured Vision 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
