Damn. I missed it.

So cool how the after Stage 1 separation the spent rocket falls away, then goes vertical, then descends.

Stuck the landing, but too hard. "We falcon punched the barge." Can't wait for that footage.

Good stuff here:

Hot damn! That looks awesome. They'll stick it next time.

EDIT: Looks like it's a few degrees off? Maybe 10?

It was swinging quite a bit coming into the barge. Gotta get that stabilized.

Better quality + explosion.



If you turn on high res, you can see the thrusters at the top trying to keep it upright. Just not quite.

I took an advanced College Physics course. We had to plot a trajectory and landing on the moon. This was pre-internet so there was no cheating. Those landings are so damn hard to do because of weight/mass/height and trying to keep the center.
