The betting window is open !!

Step up gentlemen and place your bets......

1) Falcon9R misses barge

2) Falcon9R crashes into barge

3) Falcon9R sinks the barge

4) Falcon9R sucessful landing

I take 4 this time, but would I be allowed to split my bet, I would go between 4 and 1.

It might not be a nice landing, but it will land intact.

The barge is on station, only 7 hours to go!

Decent goes well but again it goes too fast so that it lands hard what cause the rocket falls over and being destroyed, so I go for 2)

Or I can have it wrong and it lands successful on the barge, or even don't going to land whatever for reason, we see how it goes and hope for the best

I love how they named these barges. The borderline between inspired insanity and mindblowing brilliance is a fine one indeed; isn't that great though?

Oh, and my pile of chips is down on 4).

Looks like SpaceX HQ has a live feed from the barge this time, wish they'd show it along with the launch.

A little blog from SpaceX:

And new video of the last landing attempt:

April 14, 2015: CRS-6 First Stage Tracking Cam - YouTube

Is this one also slowed down from the actual landing speed?

Drats, Livestream is saturated and won't let me in.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

I'm watching but I've got a 4 second delay off NASA's coverage.

 

[orb]

I have a half second faster feed from NASA TV (Ustream) than SpaceX Livestream. I can hear echo.

Successful liftoff!

[Alfastar]

I'll pick #5: Vehicle disintegrates right before stage seperation.

Whoa. Cygnus not flying for a while, this will lead to a stop in SpaceX...let's hope the Progress comeback next week works and the Japanese resupply is on track, this might be bad for the ISS.

 

[Ripley]

Was it just right before MECO?

 

[Unstung]

The past few months have been very bad for resupply launches. And this is SpaceX's first F9 launch failure. How will the ISS crew be affected now?

Yes, it was right before engine cutoff and first stage separation.
