The quality of the pictures inside the capsule are superb compared the grainy images of the shuttle launches in the early eighties

Can't wait for this tonight. Bloody love Elon Musk, he is very much an innovater and forward thinker. We need more people like him in the world. He invests his wealth in science and positive science to boot. Legend.

I've set timers and kept tabs open to track the Space X and ISS.

Genius, reusable rockets.

They may as well let them out now as its been scrapped, I'm sure they got other things they might want to do.

Hopefully will get to see something on Saturday evening...fingers crossed.

Weve been lucky enough to visit NASA & Space X a few times when in Florida, I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. We were out there for the final night takeoff of the shuttle a few years ago, and had an amazing view of it from our pool down in Davenport!

This is an incredible view from Bakersfield, California, of the Falcon 9 launch - just stunning to watch (from about 2 mins in)
