Dont forget another historic spacex launch at 22:55 tonight.
They are reusing a dragon capsule to resupply the ISS something it was designed to do from the start, not sure why they haven't attempted before now.

Watching that first stage land gave me goose bumps. I'd seen landing on barge before but that was so impressive watching it land with such obvious visible control. Wow.

you need to go up the page and find the footage from the nrol mission, where you see the flip of the first stage it is aweosme. In fact here it is.

Skip to 3m23s if you wish.

It never gets old watching them. Amazing.

The camera also did not cut off this time as it was on land rather than out in the sea barge landing.

That Stage-1 re-entry and landing never fails to make my loins twitch. So ******* impressive.
