NASA has some good looking ladies working for them.

Aren't they Space X employees?

Some good looking ladies on the YouTube feed that I'm listening to. NASA, Space X, whatever.

I'm not complaining, mind you.  Wherever they work, female engineers are uber hot. (As an engineer, I'm not biased or anything...)

hmmmmm

@krzyzanowskim: Given you know the quality of Tesla software. Would you volunteer to get into SpaceX rocket and trust your life with it?

 

[Tom Servo]

Obviously, Cheech and Chong are somewhere near the pad smoking a huge J.

 

[Challenge Everything]

Looking at a no-go.

Absolutely.  If I had $65 million, I'd scratch a check to Musk right this second.

 

[sho nuff]

See you Saturday.

 

[Tom Servo]

C'mon, man.  Safety definitely comes first, second, and third, especially in space flight.  I was looking forward to seeing this bad boy go up.  If weather prevents that, so be it.  My day isn't ruined.

 

[jrt103]

[BobbyLayne]

Next windows for an attempt will be Saturday, May 30, at 3:22 p.m. ET or Sunday, May 31, at 3:00 p.m. ET

 

[Nick Vermeil]

But seriously, who schedules an important outdoor Florida event for the afternoon in May?  Doesn't it always rain biblical in the afternoon? 

 

[Tom Servo]

Depends on which side of the state you're on, but I'm a few hours south of the Cape with thunder rattling my windows, so I figured I at least wouldn't see it go up from here.

 

[Tom Servo]

LOL

Just busting your balls, GB.

Colin Dunlap is your typical sports talk goofus.

That's one of his more intelligent comments.

 

[Chemical X]

Launch windows are dependent on that pesky ISS orbital plane, since you know...they want to dock there and all.

Please stop with your “science” when you clearly don’t understand resort weather and early buffet timing.

Why can't they just put it in park or something?

[whoknew]

Super cool

 

[Skipdog77]

That's insane they can land the Falcon 9 like that. 

 

[Wingnut]

CNN botched it. Was counting down and cut to the rocket already up in the air. Then the countdown continued. Weird.

 

[Skipdog77]

Although 

Shot of the ship, no Falcon 9...video feed goes out for a few seconds, it comes back and there is a perfectly placed Falcon 9.
