SpaceX - 5 Commercial Resupply Launch from Kennedy Space Center

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and its unpiloted Dragon cargo craft launched in pre-dawn darkness from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida Jan. 10, bound on a two-day journey to deliver more than two tons of supplies and science experiments to the Expedition 42 crew aboard the International Space Station. About 10 minutes after launch, Dragon separated from the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket and deployed its solar arrays to begin the rendezvous to reach the station on Jan. 12, where it will be grappled by station Commander Barry Wilmore of NASA and Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti of the European Space Agency using the station’s Canadian-built robotic arm from the orbiting laboratory’s cupola. Dragon will spend a month attached to the Earth-facing port of the station’s Harmony module and then splash down in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Baja California, bringing with it almost two tons of experiment samples and equipment from the station.

I was watching it live and at the same time i was lauching my resupply mission for my space station in kerbal space program xD

wheres the video of the first stage landing :-)

Congrats on a successful launch, SpaceX!

Awesome, but sadly lacking compared to the European Space Agency' s coverage of their launches. Great to see though!

It was indeed a bit sad and misfortunate that the Booster stage safe re-landing procedure didn't work out as was planned this first testing-out time, but we have to be realistic and realize that it is always with a high level of technical risks when a very brand new and quite courageous technical process is being tried for a first initial event.

 I read something went wrong with the #SpaceX Landing? Does that mean the piece that separated From SpaceX? or the actual ship is gone?

The first stage re-entry ran out of hydralauic fluid and landed hard and broke up. So they may not load the video, I've heard the next falcon 9 already has twice the allotment of fluid, so hopefully next launch first stage re-entry will be a success.

rockets are for people without imagination .. you should use super giant balloons made from a super resistant and light plastic material and filled with helium and hydrogen, and then when you reach the upper limit of atmosphere and the gravitational pull is weaker, you can drop some weight and use more conventional means for propulsion

There always room for new discoveries, ,New Earth like Planet isnt beyond Realm of possiblities in this Galaxy, , , Eh

Avete lo scudo termico per la terra avete gli aerei che scompaiono nell' aria ora se questi due componenti si possono adattare ad Orion non potrebbe rientrare più agevolmente non so se nella galleria del vento si possa creare l'attrito dell' atmosfera o il fuoco delle raffinerie provate con la lava vulcanica vabbene ogni tanto esagero ma ho scoperto che sono nipote di scienziati poi sono anche i più studiati bisognerebbe trovare anche un ellisse con cui poter inviare le astronavi senza incidenti poiché dove c'é più gas ci potrebbe essere una miccia (tipo Davoli) dove non c'é potrebbe filare tutto liscio anche per gli aerei si sa anche che i gas variano in base alle stagioni ed hai venti chissà se ci riuscirete ci vuole tutta la scienza attenzione sono veri chi regge la volta del Cielo ma l'ho stretto della Tunisia e Spagna ora si varca
