“Flyswatters” are computer-controlled stabilizers helping enable the incredible re-landing sequence. Just an outstanding feat only seen in science fiction movies up till now.

Interesting that the TV coverage is delayed 20 seconds from the SpaceX live feed!

What the hell’s with a stuffed animal floating around the cabin? Hope it don’t hit the touch screen. Don’t pull a Gus

The onboard cameras make it feel like being in the back seat, along for the ride.
