Another Cargo Launch

[krpalmer]

After a number of delays for various reasons, the latest Falcon 9 launch has put another Dragon capsule in orbit with supplies for the space station. (I did notice some people wondering if fresh supplies in the capsule could be refreshed once the launch shroud has been put over the capsule and the rocket has been set up at the launch pad.) While I once again didn't have the opportunity to actually see the launch through online video, it's always a good thing to hear it worked out all right. I also happened to hear this launch continues to test the effort to have the first stage rocket itself back to a landing site and touch down on legs. I've wondered in the past about how much fuel needs to be saved in the tanks to do that, but this time I happened to see a bit of reasonable-sounding information on the tradeoffs.
