Perfect separations And both side boosters just set down on the pads. Vertically. At the same time. Coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I put the sound on the stereo and cranked it up.

Awesome engineering.
Awesome sight(s). Awesome idea. And topped off with an awesome sense of humour. Nice one - well done. (Gotta say - like American cars - I bet that rocket doesn't go round bends though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) |

That was the coolest spectacle I've seen live. I'll have to rewatch it tonight on the TV with sound as I watched it during lunch.
Watching both boosters land within a short distance of each other at the same time was just way to cool. Chills! |

Whats funny is I downloaded this android game the other day called SpaceFlight Simulator and have been playing with rockets and a launch just like this.

Ot Ot. I always preferred the ginger.
There was a slight delay for the sound wave to get to the telecast location. I had it up kinda loud. Then all 3 cats shot out of the room like they were on fire. |

They had a split screen showing mission control in California in one of the replays. To say folks were jubilant is putting it mildly.

There's live footage from the Tesla on youtube now - mindblowing images.
Any aliens who come across that in the future will be very very confused. |

The whole SpaceX experiment and Mr. Musk's vision gives me hope that my generation may get to experience something similar to what many of you did with the moon landing. I have been intrigued by space exploration since I was a little kid. So happy to see we as a society haven't completely lost our passion for pushing the boundaries of the unknown.

Watched it at work with my ear buds on.
I laughed out loud when the display on the car came on. Good work guys and gals. |
