For the less than patient, Booster landing at sea process starts at about 26:00, it was so perfect it looked fake.

Stuck the landing! :cheers:

Tom Mueller, the propulsion designer for all of Space-X launch vehicles is an avid Porsche guy here in SoCal. While they were landing Falcon stage one he was racing his GT3 cup car with us at Fontana.

Bravo Tom!

When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."
