I normally lurk on this forum, but I want to log in and add my two cents. I'm a developer for the hololens, it's sitting next to me right now. The hololens experience is truly unimaginable. I read a lot of articles that amount to no more than speculation about the potential of high end holographic reality: a lot of them are superficial critiques of the barriers of entry (which is admittedly high). I can only speak for virtual holographic technology (hololens), but what continues to fascinate me is how wild-west it really is. There is a small community of us that are actively writing rules for this new-world because nobody in history has thought about how a simple menu should be displayed in open space. This blog post captures the awe that a lot of are feeling: https://hololensjournal.com/2016/09/24/defining-the-best-practices-for-hololens-welcome-to-the-wild-wild-west/

What if the drone ship was fitted with rockets on the four corners -- so that it could make contact above the waves and compensate for the wind in the same way the landing rocket does? ^^^ this is the best idea I've ever had.

The camera is probably shielded, correct? Depending on point of impact i suppose the sheer force could have broken that housing, and/or damaged/destroyed the antennae.

I recommend rooting. It's a hassle to wrap your head around but there is a lot of fun stuff you can do including changing the boot animation/ boot audio (which is kind of silly but really cool, check out Tasker if you want to have some real control over android rooted or un-rooted). The S3 should be easy to root since so much time has passed. Strong word of caution for Samsung. I rooted my previous phone (S4) and due to KNOX, attempting to upgrade Android bricked the phone completely. Let me drill that in: DO NOT ATTEMPT ROOT IF VERIZON && KNOX IS INSTALLED.

This is incredibly cool, thank you for sharing

It's the greatest tease in history. 'The one thing everyone wants to know about is happening at this actual moment... we'll tell you how it goes, tomorrow maybe.' - Elon Musk, probably - - - Updated - - - Sarah Cruddas @sarahcruddas · 42s 42 seconds ago Outcome still unconfirmed, but offical rumor is it hit the barge, but didnt land well.

Okay that is literally the coolest thing to see

Hey... i can see my house from here!

Thanks

Where is the barge located when not at port? A quick google search didn't tell me.

"In today's news, Elon Musk announces war against cloud formations that could potentially scrub his launches." - FOX News, probably

Well... until next launch window folks. Back to work.

Woohoo! Just checking in now, this thread was started last year! That's awesome, 85 pages!

omfg my feed keeps FREEZING ITS DRIVING ME INSAAAANE

The sound off may be my favorite part of a launch. Even though the actual liftoff is great, the buildup with listening to the chatter is bae.

This isn't a SpaceX launch

Oh. Hold at 4 minutes.

I'm so confused. What is 10:44EST and why is it at 6 minutes at 10:09EST?

Very cool, Kryten. Thanks.

Less than an hour until it reaches the Cloud Of Unknowing. Ey, superfastjellyfish?

So, is this our thread tonight? Haha. No really this mission is nutso. From what I gather, the Earth Scientists know that magnetic field reconnection happens, they know what happens when it happens, but they don't know WHAT happens when it happens WHERE it happens. Or something.

I live in the lower part of SC, so it's not too far away from me. Considering my interests I'm surprised that I have never attempted to see a launch in real life. I've heard that it's life changing.

"Rumors first reported on the Kerbal Space Program's science lab forum say that Elon Musk plans to blow up the moon."

dharak1 The first is the most magical, savor it! They don't get any less cool.

not sure if real rocket launch, or KSP on twitch...
