12:45 AM EDT SpaceX launch and landing thread. They're flying it back to a landing pad on solid ground again, for the second time. The first time worked and was the first successful recovery of a Falcon 9 first stage. Since then, three barge landing attempts were also successful, and three failed attempts have been made.

This is another Dragon resupply to the ISS, so it should be on NASA TV, too.

Here's a video on the payload of the Dragon:

Boostback Mountain confirmed

BOOSTBACK ALREADY? LITERALLY HOW?

What's boostback?

What a time to be alive

That's because it is heading back to the pad instead of forward to a barge.

I've seen so many sat launches lately it's hard to remember that this is a freaking Dragon capsule launch.

They turn the thing around 180 and burn back to land.

It has to turn around quickly because it's not going to coast to the ocean.

1st stage slows down, turns around, and fires to fly back to launch site

kek

It was literally 5 seconds after stage sep though

THERES NO STOPPING THIS HYPE TRAIN BOYS

They want to start turning around as soon as possible

If they wait, the stage will get further and further away from the LZ

yeah, that was amazingly quick. It looks like it was all according to the timeline though.
