I have the good fortune to be in Florida, specifically Brevard County, for a few days, precisely for the few days of the launch window. I may post a picture.

[QUOTE=davar55;419750]Has it been delayed a day until Monday night / Tuesday early ?[/QUOTE]
It has indeed. Thanks. So Star Wars tonight after all (and some of the best rotis in Barbados!). :smile: |
[QUOTE=chalsall;419716]I had planned on seeing "The Force Awakens" tonight at the drive in[/QUOTE]
No spoiler in this post, safe to read. The feral teenagers[SUP](r)[/SUP] in house dragged us to the cinema, where we spent [TEX]n[/TEX] minutes watching the movie and the endless advertising Thai cinema still show before the movies start (to their merit, they do not interrupt the movie with advertising, but show ~25 minutes of it before the movie starts, from which advertising, 80% is Thai language, even if we paid - more - for an original English soundtrack, they didn't bother to show English advertising - well, their loss! because most farangs in the hall didn't understand the advertising). We wasted [TEX]n-2[/TEX] minutes from our life and we want back the money. The [TEX]2[/TEX] minutes which worth the money was the entry of C3PO. That was wonderful and we totally didn't expect it - it took us by surprise. |

It is sort of a thin pizza/wrap/pancake , with meat and/or vegetables in (curry) sauce. |

Sounds just yummy !!! |
OK, so we're about two hours and fifty minutes out from a launch and landing attempt.
Keep your eyes on the prize, people.... |
That was incredible. :smile: Crappy video incoming.

Happy holidays everyone.
We are now a space faring society! |
I just got back from toasting the landing with a member of the SpaceX Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) group that was responsible for the landing control algorithms. My favorite photo is the fourth on [URL="http://gizmodo.com/these-are-the-most-bad-ass-photos-from-the-spacex-rocke-1749223550"]this page[/URL], showing the launch and landing in a single time lapse photograph, although the first video showing the landing is also pretty awesome.

The sonic booms caught me by surprise, but we figured it out shortly enough. |
