Rocket launches LIVE.

[Digger96]

Well Hawkear, you got your wish! Seems like an enormous waste of money, but Elon doesn’t seem too concerned. Approximately 4 minutes of flight then ‘boom!

Bloody good 1st run. Lots of lessons to be learned, good on him

 

[Hawkear]

I love the smell of exploding rocket fuel in the morning!
Yes many lessons learned, the main one being how to spin failure into success.

It's not rocket science!

Oops...

Total Success .... It was only planed to Clear the Tower... Anything else is 'Icing on the Cake,'

Now all he has to do is grab another one, stack it, fit it out and launch it...
Next launch should be in about 4 weeks...

Would have a better view if it wasn't so foggy...

Now...
Ooooppps.. To the stupid Photographer who set up shop and parked his car in the area... One totalled Van and a heap of Equipment melted..

Oooopps also to the Debris that was seen on re-plays of Drone video, landing in the Ocean... Hmmm..

But the last Pic says Major Ooopps..... " Your gonna need a Stronger Lift-off Pad.. "

Just lucky there were no body parts in the debris.

Not a launch, but hopefully a moon landing happening tonight. You can watch the live stream here:

And yet the yanks reckon it's a great success! At least it hit the moon - their last try a couple of weeks back, didn't even make it there!

 

[LONEWOLF]

They are lucky the way it fell over, they still can get some info from the Lander... When I saw it getting loaded , I thought its very tall... And hoped that it would be stable enough... But getting a leg caught on some rocks cant be predicted unfortunately... But they do expect it to die in a few days time...

The first Australian-made orbital rocket is on the pad​

Just down the Road from Me... And their Test Pad is just up the road from Me... I hear the 'Roar' often.... Not long now...

And a very appropriate Launch Date... May the 4th be with You..... International Star Wars Day...
