I was surfing the net last night and stumbled upon the live feed for the launch. Got goose-bumps when Falcon touched down safely

Big accomplishment! SpaceX really has done something remarkable here. Ten years from now we could witness a 10x drop in the cost of launching payloads into space. Who knows what comes next!

The Falcon was originally given only a 20% chance of success due to high winds and 8 to 12 foot seas. Better known as how to stick a landing.

Was great to get 4k footage of this landing.

The "I'm on a Boat" dub video was amusing also.

Top that one Jeff B. LoL
