Rocket launch good, satellite in geo transfer orbit. Still so damn intense. Looking fwd to it feeling normal one day.

While the rocket does look rather tall & tippy, a stable landing is no problem with proper throttle response https://t.co/B4Y6D4dpsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjWqQPWmsY&feature=youtu.be

Cause of hard rocket landing confirmed as due to slower than expected throttle valve response. Next attempt in 2 months.

Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing http://t.co/eJWzN6KSJa

Odds of rocket landing successfully today are still less than 50%. The 80% figure by end of year is only bcs many launches ahead.

Rocket soft landed in the ocean within 10m of target & nicely vertical! High probability of good droneship landing in non-stormy weather.

Mega storm preventing droneship from remaining on station, so rocket will try to land on water. Survival probability <1%.

Rocket reentry will be much tougher this time around due to deep space mission. Almost 2X force and 4X heat. Plenty of hydraulic fluid tho.
