Of Course I Still Love You (SpaceX's ASPDS)

Description

Last Night (Approximately 2Am Eastern On 5-6-16) Spacex Had Their Second Successful Landing On A Drone Ship. If You Aren'T A Rocket Person, You Might Wonder What Is Special About The Second Landing (After All, No One Remembers Who Comes Second). This Second Landing Was After Placing Jcsat-14 In Geostationary Transfer Orbit (Gto). The Previous Landing On A Drone Ship Was After Delivering Supplies To The Iss, Which Is In Low Earth Orbit (Leo). It Takes More Fuel To Bring A Payload Into Gto Than Leo, And Thus This Rocket Had Less Fuel To Land. The Rocket Falls About Twice As Fast When Landing From Gto, And I Thought It Was Awesome. So I Built The Drone Ship It Landed On, Famously Named "Of Course I Still Love You." A Version With The Falcon-9 First Stage Landed On It Is Here. Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1545547
