You work at SpaceX?! Congratulations are in order for making an incredibly difficult thing look easy. I've got my fingers crossed for the ISS berthing on Friday.
I've been following SpaceX for at least a year before the first F1 launch. Never lost faith that the company would succeed. You guys and girls are going to show the world how it's done.
While 100% reusability may or may not be possible, I admire the attitude of "let's try it and find out". I can't wait to see 8 super Draco engines on Dragon. She'll be a real fire breather at that point.
Keep up the good work!
Peter

Woohoooooooo! We did it! Successful berth! Oh man, maybe now I'll have some free time for the revos again. (Doubt it :lol: ) In answer to a previous question, I'm a propulsion engineer. It's pretty sweet. 8-)

Ahh, a true rocket scientist. Very cool.

I can just imagine what was going through your mind after the T-0.5 sec shut down occurred. :D

With SpaceX moving as fast as it does, I'm impressed you had enough time to do any Revomazes at all.

Now that the hatch is open, things will be calm for about a week. Then Dragon has to safely leave the ISS and survive reentry. It ain't over yet, but the mission will be successful mo matter what happens at this point. Personally, I think the rest of the mission will go as planned and Dragon will be fished out of the Pacific in one piece and ready to go again later this year.

Again congratulations!
Peter

It would have been easier to identify you, if you had been wearing your RevoMaze T-Shirt.
