CRS-12 Launch Webcast

On August 14, 2017, SpaceX successfully launched its twelfth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-12) from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Liftoff occurred at 12:31 p.m. EDT, or 16:31 UTC and was followed approximately two and a half minutes later by separation of the first and second stages. The first stage of Falcon 9 then successfully landed back at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Dragon is expected to arrive at the International Space Station the morning of Wednesday, August 16th.

Man Kerbal Space Program got a nice update

I never miss a launch. It never gets old. I love the real engineer/people announcers and feel a part of the team as I hoot and holler (or sometimes tear up) with everyone else there. Thank you so much for providing your broadcasts. I am especially looking forward to the Heavy launches next year and the lunar flyby!!! Go SpaceX GO!

Space X just launched a rocket into space and returned the first stage of the rocket back to the launch pad with pinpoint accuracy. Over half of the general population of the US can't even park in a parking spot.

Congratulations to everyone at SpaceX for another successful launch and landing!

Congrats to all the SpaceX engineers! A successful launch is always worth celebrating and landing the first stage is just the cherry on top, but still always amazing to see!

I have lived in the best of times. I have an unbroken memory from mans first satellites to this.

[FernandoPerez-nsez]

It is abosulutely fantastic to be able to watch LIVE the new lunch of SpaceX and its safe return to earth. Many thanks for making this possible for us, plain people interested in great events.

[GregoryHammond]

I will NEVER get tired of watching this happen. Wow. Well done and congratulations, SpaceX! :D

[markyboo]

I actually enjoyed the running commentary on this one. Usually it's just vapid yammering which distracts from the launch. This is more informative than the usual.

[rusirius]

thank you Space X for giving kids on Earth hope.

[bitcoinbekka]

First, who can dislike this? Yay thumbs down for genius engineering *eye roll*

Congratulations SpaceX team on another successful deployment and landing! Epic job!! 💪💪💪

[jorgedaniel]

I can't even begin to imagine what it takes to make something like this happen. Truly outstanding.

[bullet_tooth_tony]

[ARealGopher]

This makes me so happy for the future. No bullshit, no hiccups
Bravo and Very well done to the whole SpaceX team.

[bdrigg]

I've seen all of these. Still amazing every single time.

[andrewedis]

I honestly didn't think you would get this to work consistently. It's looking like im going to have to eat my words. Well done and congratulations!

[Derome]

This was perfect everything the calculations for the flight and landing nearly brought tears 😭 this is great thank you

[controlledburst]

Watching these never gets old. Amazing accomplishment - esp. the tech behind landing the first stage. Surreal. Wish they would display speed/altitude for U.S. viewers too.
