    4 minutes to go, thanks for the nudge. I'm planning to get the family down to Mahia to experience what you can of a launch live at some stage

    @NTA it will take a day to catch up to The ISS, then it will dock and deliver the supplies. Think it’s taking some back too.

    Then in July they send up people.

    @Kirwan rad.

    This shit is blowing my mind. As a kid watching shuttle disasters and being told these were the reusable spacecraft of the future, you had to ask whether we were ever getting off this planet on a meaningful basis.

    Musk isn't perfect, but he's driven people to achieve some amazing shit.

    Yeah, exactly how I feel. They have landed their rockets 35 times now.

    That re-use still blows my mind. It's just incredible how quickly they have fixed problems and evolved to an outstanding record. Kudos to Musk - may have some issues, but blow me down he's made a difference in our world

    I still can't get over the fact that the rocket can land back on a platform when it's done. Puts the space shuttle to shame. I wonder if the docking computer can play music too?
