In my opinion the most amazing thing about the SpaceX launch today
Is that they had images from a buoy in the Indian Ocean watching the second stage soft land.

That implies that they were able to yeet the sucker around the world, get through the entry, belly flop, flip it and land it and get it in frame of a pre-planned buoy. And transmit the images from the middle of the ocean in real time to Twitter.

Take a moment and think about how insane that is. We take the things SpaceX as accomplished kind of for granted, but the technical achievement they pulled off today is unbelievable.

If I was a competing rocket company I would be absolutely terrified. They need to make huge changes and advancements in how they operate,, or they are done.

It doesn't matter how much is opponents hate him, and try to throw obstacles in his path, if Elon musk is selling cars and everyone else is selling horse and buggies, he's gonna win out.
