  1. As much as I think Elon Musk is a egotistical charlatan I have to admit that the booster tech his company developed (with government money, support and facilities) is pretty impressive. If this booster truly did survive its landing at sea then good on him.

  2. It was windy as heck yesterday. The chop was so turbulent just in the Intercoastal, I’m not surprised they missed the landing dock. I am surprised they tried though.
