Less than a month since ift 3. These launches are speeding up.

May is still looking good.

It's launch month my dudes! (hopefully)



The booster was coronated with its hot staging ring so we could see the booster and ship moving to the pad soon. No no fly zones yet so we're at least a week or two out from launch.

SpaceX is moving too fast! This thread is for flight 4 yet they just static fired flight 5's ship.

It is here!!!

Also kinda funny but the ship is missing a couple tiles on purpose. They want to see how well it can handle losing some, so they removed tiles in an area that wouldn't cause too many problems if holes form.

10 minutes!!! I think it'll go flawless and do two soft water landings (or it might blow up on the pad)

[Legend]

launch!

[Legend]

amazing water landing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Legend]

1 outer engine failed to start at launch, and then one in the inner ring failed to restart on the landing. Yet still managed to land. Also showing ground footage of the ship in orbit, impressive.

We do actually have acquisition signal. 11 internal cameras are transmitting. Figuring out why external cameras aren’t.

Dang might not get footage of reentry. Wonder what could knock them out like that.

External camera comes online in 11 mins

Hopefully!
