Well, SpaceX is really the star of this particular show.

Agreed. But they're in partnership with NASA. So SpaceX stars, NASA produces.

Elon Musk is basically a real-life Peter Weyland. He even has big plans for the colonization and terraforming of Mars, just like Weyland.

Earth is doomed anyway and I bet Elon has millions of marijuana seeds here, for the future of mankind on Mars.

All nominal, all nominal, they are in LEO.

Fantastic. Absolutely exhilarating watching this.

Watched it live with my cousin this afternoon while assembling a new grill outside.

It was nice to have a positive event on the tv for once.

What is really amazing about SpaceX rockets is their recovery methods. 



Unfortunately the camera signal was lost just as the rocket landed on the drone ship but another aerial drone camera managed to capture the landing.

Incredible how it can return all the way from space to land upright on a tiny moving platform on a pitching and rolling ship.

I wonder if the drone ship's name is an Ian M. Banks reference?

It's cool to see the US get back in the game, and to see commercial success like that. Shame I'll never be able to afford a trip, but it's a step into a very interesting direction! Really enjoyed watching the launch and dock too.

haha My dad and I were anxiously waiting for it to land and when the signal was lost and restored, to see it had already landed, we pretty much made that face.

Apparently is was the rocket exhaust that caused the signal disruption, but I wouldn't be surprised if Elon intentionally organized it in order to troll the conspiracy theory crowd.
