I have the good fortune to be in Florida, specifically Brevard County, for a few days, precisely for the few days of the launch window. I may post a picture.

It has indeed. Thanks.

So Star Wars tonight after all (and some of the best rotis in Barbados!).

No spoiler in this post, safe to read.

The feral teenagers^(r) in house dragged us to the cinema, where we spent $n$ minutes watching the movie and the endless advertising Thai cinema still show before the movies start (to their merit, they do not interrupt the movie with advertising, but show ~25 minutes of it before the movie starts, from which advertising, 80% is Thai language, even if we paid - more - for an original English soundtrack, they didn't bother to show English advertising - well, their loss! because most farangs in the hall didn't understand the advertising).

We wasted $n-2$ minutes from our life and we want back the money. The $2$ minutes which worth the money was the entry of C3PO. That was wonderful and we totally didn't expect it - it took us by surprise.

It is sort of a thin pizza/wrap/pancake , with meat and/or vegetables in (curry) sauce.

OK, so we're about two hours and fifty minutes out from a launch and landing attempt.

Keep your eyes on the prize, people....

That was incredible.

Crappy video incoming.

Happy holidays everyone.

We are now a space faring society!

I just got back from toasting the landing with a member of the SpaceX Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) group that was responsible for the landing control algorithms. My favorite photo is the fourth on this page, showing the launch and landing in a single time lapse photograph, although the first video showing the landing is also pretty awesome.

The sonic booms caught me by surprise, but we figured it out shortly enough.
