Space-X Launch

Just watched the Space-X launch from Cape Canaveral. They were able to land the first stage rocket back on a ship in the Atlantic. Pretty exciting to follow. The webcast coverage hosted by Space-X engineers seems like a new era in space appeal. Clumsy, but probably appealing to a younger generation of science enthusiasts. My 10-year old is glued to it.

Re: Space-X Launch

Amazing accomplishment !

We have all seen the launches. Here is a short 1 minute clip of the actual successful landing on the sea based platform, something which heretofore has eluded SpaceX.

Elon, you are the Man !! =D>

My son has watched the full replay twice already. He couldn't be more excited about space camp this summer.

Cam,

Yep. We're just figuring out the dates now. I plan on giving you a call once we have the timeframe. Would be great to link up.
