C O O L! Nice video, too.
This is a huge engineering achievement. The Blue Origin fly-back and tail-sitting landing was even more spectacular. Bravo to all.
Uh, no. This blows the Blue Origin thing out of the water -- that was just a little lift and and land, whereas SpaceX really sent a rocket into SPACE and landed it back down on vertically, AND on a floating raft at sea.
But as you say, Bravo to all!
