Fuck, I was out. Just got home. Totally putting it on now.

Can't wait to see if all three boosters land.

Holy shit.

That was one of the greatest things I've seen. I literally got goosebumps when it reached max Q

Watching the two side boosters land simultaneously was the icing on the cake.

..yes, and Life on Mars playing in an infinite loop on Musk's Tesla is awesome too.

Being able to safely land booster rockets right where you want them should do wonders for cost efficiency. Hopefully national and multinational organizations like NASA, ESA, etc. will either license that technology or develop a parallel technology, and we'll see an increase in the frequency of space exploration missions, or at least a decrease in cost so they are easier to justify to the penny pinchers.
