I think hitting the target is a hell of an achievement in itself.

It's funny how their successful delivery of the payload to the ISS has become of secondary importance compared to what is their secondary mission. Shame they couldn't pull it off, but like has already been mentioned, for it to "crash" into the pad means that they were most of the way there.

First time I feel like we're actually making progress.

Now to wait for the videos, they said there's not much to see because it was dark, but I still want to see it, after all the explosion must have lighten up the sky. biggrin


When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".
