This is the first launch since the SpaceX rocket went kaboom [1] and they will be attempting a landing. 1: https://youtu.be/PuNymhcTtSQ?t=3m15s

This time, with a much bigger landing area. The maneuvering to land on their landing barge was kind of extreme the last time they tried it.

What's with all the fluff videos? Can we have a channel with just a comms feed? T-4 minutes and still zero actual mission audio...

I really appreciate it. If I had kids, this would be a great feed to watch with them, because it covers a lot of the how and why of what happens.

Give people a choice maybe? Nothing wrong having the mainstream feed but I would appreciate an alternative.

Thank you, I didn't know they had upgraded. I still remember the tiny RCS thruster trying to get the rocket upright from the last landing...
