Launching In a few minutes!
Data upload from tracking plane shows first stage landing in Atlantic was good! Flight computers continued transmitting for 8 seconds after reaching the water. Stopped when booster went horizontal. Several boats enroute through heavy seas...
That’s great. They should have some onboard video that we should get at some point.
Thanks US_MilitaryRules.

Didn’t get to see it live but I did watch the re-play. Looks like the first stage booster landed right above the ocean just like they wanted. They just made history (again) doing this.
