LIVE THREAD: SpaceX Launch of SES-9 6:47pm EST
SpaceX website ^ | 1/25/16 | SpaceX

Posted on 02/25/2016 3:29:02 PM PST by hoagy62

Today is the 2nd attempt to launch the Falcon 9/SES-9 satellite into geosynchronous orbit. The launch was postponed from yesterday due to weather. At this time, there is an 80% chance of favorable weather.

If all goes well, the Falcon 9 first stage will also attempt to land on one of SpaceX's robotic barges out in the Atlantic. If successful, this will be the first time the first stage lands on the barge.

Interest process, how calmly they scrub and recycle.

They said to check with the website, Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ for updates.

Sorry about that, gang. Thanks for tuning in!

I think a sponsor wanted a larger logo.

Damn. I wanted to see another one of Musk’s rockets blow up.
