"Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time. Bodes well for the future tho."

Where is it? Is there a feed of its location, or the landing pad?
It's completed it's boost back burn, so it's on a trajectory towards the landing barge (positioned off shore a good distance).

EDIT: All this is just from the radio transmissions broadcast on the SpaceX YouTube stream.

From the Reddit post:

[T + 15:45] Jon - Mission success. We have data but not good enough to put on the live stream yet (poor connection). Updates here as they come!

Sounds good?
