So cool to see the booster rocket begin to navigate on its own separate from the payload. Smart boosters are a huge advance.

If you’ve never seen a space launch in HD, tune in to spacex.com/webcast/ . It’s happening now.

Tesla’s Supercharger network could make it the Standard Oil of electric vehicles. Oh, the company makes cars too.

SpaceX launch looks good, but the drone landing craft can’t handle 30-foot seas (duh!), so booster will try to land on *water*. Yikes.

I love machine learning: my R conditional inference tree predicted all 2013 airline delays with a mean error of 0.5 minutes.

Not that anyone but me cares, but the solar panels have now cleared more than 50% of their snow. We’re back to making serious electricity.

33% of the several feet of packed snow on the solar panels has been cleared by about 4 hours of sun. Powerful stuff, solar power.

Solar panels now up to 20% of full power and rising as sunlight continues to clear panels of packed snow.

(i.e., solar power output is about 10% of full snowless power at local noon)

Solar panels have now cleared about 10% of their snow cover.
