Had no idea this was happening tonight, I'll be the first one to admit I was certain of our impending doom at first. Anyone else catch it?

Caught it from the 5/405 split on the way home from work. Saw from start to finish. It was pretty cool to see while sitting in traffic

Better photo than mine obviously, way to one up me

Traffic on the 405 must have been just so awesome

Didn't mean to one up you!

Luckily I stay on the 5 so no 405 for me, but it still took me an hour to go 20 miles with a carpool buddy...

This was announced right? pretty weird how such a thing is announced when the thing is really fucking noticeable.

Reminds me of this.

That looks cool! I'd love to see a rocket launch. Don't have that in Europe though.

We could make it moto-related:
Can someone convince Elon Musk to develope a Tesla e-mx bike?

Tesla owns a small portion of Alta, and the top guys at Alta are former Tesla execs, so there's that........

Check this footage. Pretty awesome:

You can see the first stage separate and the firing of the directional thrusters, then you see the payload fairings pop off. They were supposed to try and recover the fairings on this trip but haven't heard if they were able to do that.

Crazy stuff, I have a feeling shit is going to get crazy in the next twenty odd years, I'm in my early twenties and already consider myself old in respect to today's technology.

When I was a kid I watched guys walk on the moon. Hope I get to see it again before my card is punched. I doubt I'll be around to see anyone walk on Mars although Elon has an aggressive time line for that.
