Looking good so far. Prop load about 80% complete.

Everybody at NASA just dropped a load in their pants!!

All of SpaceX's competition just dropped a load in their collective pants.

Pretty sure NASA just came in their pants since the Artemis moon missions rely on this working.

Just announced that propellant transfer is complete. This was a goal for the moon contract. That is a payout goal. I think SpaceX gets $53 million.

Looks like they lost the ship in re-entry, but still, amazing progress and lots of useful info gathered I'm sure.

This stabilized video shows just how out of control that reentry was.

The fact that we were able to see that in real-time HD video just blows my mind.
