the video from the booster simulated landing in the ocean was incredible! It came in and did a soft landing vertically just touching the ocean, engines cut, it appeared to be floating for a second and then just kind of slowly fell over.

I did not think they would nail the booster landing this flight, as it was not stable all the way down on the last flight. Absolutely incredible watching this live

Boster was awesome, but the ship itself and watching heat dig through the fin slowly - that was one of the craziest moments I’ve seen out if all the launches :)
