You would have thought they could have provide a little more information than they did at the site. Nothing really to comment on except that I assume they had a successful launch and recovery. I must assume because they don’t really say.

I do have to really credit SpaceX for turning the incredible into the mundane. Rockets landing on tails of fire, hitting a tiny tiny target in the middle of the sea. Now repeatedly.

Awesome stuff! That was a pretty much max-v launch with recovery!

The full launch and landing sequence can be viewed at:

(BTW I view these first few successful landings as amazing historical events - not mundane in the slightest!)
