The future has landed

Outstanding Don't panic!
-
This is such a great view

Payload deployment:

fair point. Paul might have the answer.

Is it because it's already been reused once?

11 mins till launch

Just in from some lunar after the air got decidedly damp so this sorts my evening out nicely. Watch the launch then Wonders of the Moon on iPlayer.
