Falcon 9: Redux
Oh man! They did it. It is so beautiful. Against that night sky. 3 minutes in, the bird is approaching MICO 1, Main engine cutoff. Everything is nominal. The second stage engine is burning now. They have a camera on the cone of the engine and it is glowing bright pink. Stage two propulsion systems nominal. Absolutely amazing to be watching the booster engine running live!, across the Internet, from space. This is the future of space. A Live Feed to your cell phone, from probes that traverse our solar system, and bring you into the loop! The Dragon is moving now at 4 kilometers a second. Thank you SpaceX...
