Default Congrats SpaceX

Congrats Space X. Fascinating and exciting! The camera views during the ride were awesome and cinched it, the earth is flat!

This is bit of great news in a sea of negativity these days. Well done all involved!

Cool thing was that they were able to return the booster and land it on a floating pad in the ocean. Landed perfectly.

Are you sure....my coverage said loss of signal and then magically, viola, the booster is sitting upright on the ship! Personally, if they were gonna deprive me of seeing that, I would have rather watched Siegfried(or possibly Roy) get his head bitten off.

Just kidding, but with the cost of Vegas shows, that one might have been worth the money! Just kidding again.

In all seriousness, I'm glad Trump commanded them to launch..." safety be dammed, by God, I want a launch, I'm not wasting another trip down here".
Crap, a threefer

Seriously, that was amazing! Hopefully, it won't be politicized and can help bring the country together at least for the next 19 hours until nightfall or Space Station docking....fingers crossed.

PS...did anyone see the landing of the booster, or was it just my coverage? Seen em before and most cool

Auto land. I think it needs 3 auto pilots for that.

Nope, mine cut out as well just before touchdown. One of those inconvenient "loss if signal" things that make you go hmmmm.
