T+17m: Not a successful landing today. That sucks. Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/32jnyd/rspacex_crs6_... Edit: "Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing" @elonmusk

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My thoughts exactly.

Every time we reach these new frontiers I'm reminded of Sagan's 'Pale Blue Dot'. http://oi46.tinypic.com/11w8z7n.jpg

"Stage 1 has been saved"!!! Edit: Apparently it's not what I hoped, http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/2swnth/how_well_does... 'saved' and 'safed' are pretty similar on stream...

I heard "Stage 1 FTS has been saved" and shortly after, "Stage 2 FTS has been saved". Not sure what FTS means but hopefully its capture was a success!
