Gotta love Elon.

Elon Musk Names SpaceX Drone Ships in Honor of Sci-Fi Legend

@elonmusk: Rocket reentry will be much tougher this time around due to deep space mission. Almost 2X force and 4X heat. Plenty of hydraulic fluid tho.

I love Elon

Congrats to Elon and team on what is basically success, had there not been 10 meter waves on the landing pad.

I read the landing was vertical, soft, and perfect accuracy. The barge however was moved as they lost control of it due to storm

I was thinking about how much is going on at SpaceX. I wrote this to get my head round it. These are all the things I can think of that are in progress or on the horizon. I have not included anything speculative or old. I've tried to not get too fine grained and included lots of little things; just the things I think are noteworthy events. It's amazing how many things there are going on in parallel atm.

Everything spacex is doing.

My favourite.. Reused Falcon first stage flight, returning to launch site, with fully crewed Dragon 2 and return to propulsive landing.

And..Oh yeah.. and then the Mars Colonial Transporter architecture announcement.

Is there anything I missed?
