weather scrub is the bane of all space travel, in atmosphere, or out. When we can launch with shields up, then we will have something.

It is great when people prove the naysayers wrong. People with a dream to make things happen find ways to make things happen that the ordinary person, without a dream, will never see. Innovation, trial and error, persistence/perseverance are king.

As LIFE Leadership Co-Founder Chris Brady says, "criticism is the death-gargle of a non-achiever".

Another failed landing onto the barge. I understand the desired safety aspect of trying to do this at sea but I think landing on an unstable platform is going nowhere. I wonder if the US Coast Guard considers this barge platform to be large and stable enough to land a rescue copter or would they still lower a swimmer by cable?

So, what is up with spacenews.com website? I had 2/3 of the page covered with useless red/black colored screen with some internal links that went nowhere, and could not get to the story.
