The rocket flying on Wednesday, which will be carrying the 12,613-pound (5,721 kg) Boeing-built SES-9 satellite, will be traveling too fast to try to get back to a landing pad at Cape Canaveral, prompting SpaceX to try the ocean landing instead.

Over the next decade, fliers too may suddenly reach that level of believability, where you stop dreaming about doing barrel rolls on the way to work and start worrying about how noisy they'll be and how you can avoid having a landing pad on your block.

Photos of Vandenberg Air Force Base Space Launch Complex 4 show that the landing pad there was, at least very recently, occupied by a giant tent (giant as in, there is a cherry picker sitting under it and massive construction equipment looks very small next to it).

SpaceX is also re-using Falcon Heavy boosters for the first time, with side boosters used on the Arabsat-6A mission flown in April, and it'll attempt to recover all three first-stage rockets via landings at Cape Canaveral and aboard its drone landing pad barge.

What took critics and fans aback was not that Raf Simons found a landing pad — that was always going to happen for the acclaimed designer, whose stints at Calvin Klein, Dior, and Jil Sander are considered to be among the most exciting years for those brands.

Add in all of the complicated situations that helicopter pilots experience, like dropping onto the landing pad of an oil rig during a storm in the North Sea or trying to airlift someone off of the side of a highway at night surrounded by trees and power lines.

The testing has also given the firefighters an opportunity to see how others interact with the drone, from the dogs running up and barking at it to the man who walked up, just after the drone touched down on its landing pad, and asked to take its picture.

The landing pad on the roof will be crucial if anyone is injured, of course (though there are medical facilities on board), but depending on where splashdown takes place — not to mention the weather — it might be preferable to take to the air rather than ride a slow boat to shore.

Permit records for both its planned January 17 Jason 3 NASA satellite launch from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base and its January 23 SES-9 satellite launch from Cape Canaveral both suggest a barge landing (though SpaceX often applies for both barge and landing pad permits to keep its options open).

But lips is where Woods really messes up: Despite having a pretty big landing pad to work with, the Leo lip kit, a dark burgundy shade, ends up all over the outside of Jenner's mouth — looking like the aftermath of a red wine-filled girl's night gone a few glasses too far.

SpaceX has been trying to land one of the company's Falcon 9 rockets on a floating landing pad in the ocean for months now with no success, and yesterday's launch was particularly challenging as the rocket had much farther to go and thus had to deal with a hotter reentry and less fuel.

It further charges that in 2007, while Purdue was being investigated by federal prosecutors, the family created a new company to sell opioids, called Rhodes, which a former Purdue official said was specifically set up as a "landing pad" for the Sacklers because of the crisis surrounding OxyContin, according to the lawsuit.

The rocket first-stage returned to Earth and fired its landing engine burst as planned, but a live video feed from the drone ship landing pad operated by SpaceX appeared to show exhaust plumes, suggesting it came down in the ocean wide of its mark instead of landing on the pad as planned.

This is different from every Falcon 9 launch that has preceded it, because the rocket SpaceX is using has already flown once before – on April 8 last year, when it was the first of the company's rockets to nail a landing at sea on a floating drone barge repurposed as a mobile landing pad.

The launch will take off from Space's SLC-4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and the launch will also include an attempted recovery of the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage, which will return after separating from the second stage via controlled descent to SpaceX's "Just Read the Instructions" drone barge landing pad situated in the Pacific Ocean.

CLEAR THE ARTERIES "Doors should swing freely, passageways should be cleared and zones should be created that support your daily routines and activities," said Ms. Blakeney, who discovered the importance of this after her daughter was born five years ago and the area behind her front door became a landing pad for shoes, strollers and other gear.

Depending on their configuration, the stations could serve as a charging pad for human-piloted or fully autonomous vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, a landing pad for conventional helicopters, or a way station for cargo deliveries or emergency UAV operations when medical and other supplies are needed during a crisis, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic.

The two cores on either side of the rocket will return to LZ-1 and LZ-2, the land-based landing sites at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, and the one in the center will try to land back on "Of Course I Still Love You," the autonomous drone barge that SpaceX uses as a floating landing pad out in the Atlantic Ocean.

For example, they noted that Thiel representatives talked with New Zealand's Ministry of Science and Innovation officials about forming a technology company incubator in the city of Auckland, as well as a San Francisco "landing pad" for New Zealand entrepreneurs going to the U.S. "As a world-class entrepreneur Mr. Thiel believes that with the right support New Zealand can achieve a place at the top of the world's list of best countries for entrepreneurs," the Department of Internal Affairs officials wrote.
