Most impressive showing I've seen in the UK! Camera on night mode and not touched up (steady) at all.

Exciting. Also brings us one step closer to Musk buggering off to Mars.

With an attempt to catch the booster with the tower no less!

 

I saw that they said the booster landed in the ocean with 5mm (sic) accuracy which is remarkable and is no doubt what has given them the confidence to go for the catch this time.

Switzerland is taking a bold step towards sustainability by installing solar panels between train tracks, potentially covering 30% of its public transport's electrical needs. This innovative project utilizes underused railway space without disrupting train operations, enhancing the country's commitment to renewable energy. With a dense train network and a focus on clean energy, Switzerland is leading the way in the energy transition. #SolarPower #SustainableTransport #Switzer…

And this person has equal influence over government policy on this matter(one vote) to a climate scientist.

Yep, that's democracy.  Given the choice between democracy and some form of dictatorship, democracy (in the western world at least) is preferred.

Certainly democracy is the best bad idea that exists for governance that we have right now.

 

However, on matters like this, it is rather clear that it can be counterproductive at best and flat-out choosing societal collapse and extinction by committee vote at worst. If it doesn't lead that way, I'm be glad to know exactly how, because it would be incredibly useful for the future.

Two primary objectives - get the upper stage to splashdown in a manner that leaves it usable again, and catch the lower stage with the "chopsticks". Let's see.

 

Edit: correction, launch at 1pm UK time.
