Same mood! Thank goodness for YouTube video scrubbing and on-screen mission clocks to quickly work out how far back to go.

This, as soon as things came back I just went back in time on YouTube and watched from there again.
Man that was epic!
Seeing plasma live and feed not cutting out(until it did). Crazy!
Inb4 news articles claiming failure haha. Obviously it failed but in flight testing is their name of the game.
Notice each flight they are getting a lot further and confidence is climbing. By flight 5 or 6 they will be ticking all the boxes I rate.

I read something about this a while ago. Would make sense. shout outs to the clever people that makes this stuff work.
I was thinking about a similar thing, how on mars they refer to timing of days as earth days. Because obviously Mars days are longer, wild times to live there.

Well, here we go again. Flight 4 is a go. (there is something else happening today but I rather won’t post until after it’s happened 
)
IFT 4 is happening tomorrow. License has been granted.

SpaceX one will go up round about t minus 1 hour. will be on X anyways.
The main goal this time is surviving re-entry and as such, they have actually taken a lot more care on the heat shield tiles application this time.
Side fact, after first flight, took them 7 months to go again. Then just 4 months, and now only 3.

Good thing you didn’t mention it, else, jinx and all that. Be sure not to tell us when it’s coming back.

Launch time moved upwards slightly, but prop load has now started so we’re in business
Also funny moment from NSF stream chat, while they had John Kraus on the stream.
