That is 100X funnier because it is in German and the guy sounds like a madman....


See if you spot the continuity problem with this commercial...

pretty cool I'd be afraid of getting something in the intake  I always wondered how do they put air filters on these setups or do they? you never see them with filters.

That was really interesting to watch!  They'd better plan on adding some filters or they'll be rebuilding that engine very soon.

That was interesting to watch. Dave did you notice what seemed to be lots of reversion during mod range hard throttle.  I wonder what longer intake runners to keep the velocity up would do for performance. Seemed to run pretty good anyway.

Not exactly funny, but should put a smile on your face, it did for me.

Watched it live a couple of weeks ago. Spectacular. Cousin (employee Badge #16) is machinist at SpaceX and gave heads up about a hour before.

When I read they were launching it, I was ready to drive up to Cape Canaveral (100 miles from me) but then saw Vandenberg was the launch site and was bummed. I would have loved to have seen at least the launch live. Not sure I would be able to see the landing. 

That is a remarkable feat.

Coulda swore it was Canaveral. All articles I saw was scheduled for Canaveral. I think video mentions Canaveral.

You may be correct, I thought the one where the rocket fell over was at the Cape and the one where it was successful was at Vendenberg?

This video is from Dec 21st, I thought I read last week they launched another one in Cali, I got confused and thought this video was that launch. 

Regardless, it was an amazing feat. I need to pay closer attention to the launch schedules and see if I can get up and see one in person again.  I used to live on Cape Canaveral and work on Merritt Island right outside the Nasa gates, so I had a front row to all the launches back then.  Move 100 miles away and you are completely disconnected from it. Crazy.

They're throwing these things up like July fireworks. Falcon 9 with Jason-3 Satellite scheduled for tomorrow at Vandenberg. I'd like to see a night launch.
