This is a normal post If/when it crashes it should be very spectacular.
If it actually pulls off this crazy belly flop manoeuvre I will have serious problems tracking my shit.

This is a normal post I hear mumblings of hydraulic problems.
The front flap/canard/wing things are visibly strapped down right now, so it ain't going anywhere for the time being. They have until 11pm GMT if it's going to fly today. Fingers crossed.

This is a normal post They did say
that there was a 1/3 chance of a no go, a 1/3 chance of an earth shattering kaboom, and a 1/3 chance of it working.

Right now it is looking like a no go for today.

This is a normal post One of the flaps is untied and proudly extended!
The other is still tied down. People in a cherry picker are working on the side of the rocket. Still four hours to play with.

This is a normal post They have started
venting something from the tanks on the ground.

Looking more positive.

This is a normal post Well now...
Weather looks good. Flaps extended. Pad is clear. Ground tanks are venting.

Maybe it will happen tonight.

This is a normal post That was truly excellent!
Everything worked, an engine went mental and set the skirt on fire, they actually performed the bellyflop, reignited their frazzled engines and stuck the landing perfectly.
