It's almost like this is becoming a regular occurrence. I'm looking forward to the next generation looking back on this and being incredulous that we used to completely throw away boosters on every launch.
I've watched the SpaceX launches with my 4-year-old and 2-year-old. Exciting for me, but they really get into it as well. Indoctrination at it's finest. I was born in the 80s and missed the moon race, so it's nice to have this new space race.
I'm reminded of my early 20s when I played Everquest hardcore. My guild was one of the top among all servers. As soon as a new expansion came out we would quickly get to the endgame content and then spend weeks wiping over and over until we finally beat it all. Then we'd beat it again. And again. After a few times no one cared anymore and we went back to "farm-mode" until the next expansion was released. I guess the "next expansion" for SpaceX would be Mars.
Only a few frames of the actual landing, but here was the live stream.<p><a href="https://youtu.be/zBYC4f79iXc?t=2290" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/zBYC4f79iXc?t=2290</a>
