Yep. Looked incredibly simple. Hopefully this kind of thing becomes common place. No offense to Bezos' penis ship, but SpaceX is a true commercial company. Remember watching their first commercial launch to the ISS. Was amazing. This, doubly so.

heh, figured he'd be quick with a retort

For those who missed it, can check out the replay starting at 9:20 or so of the streaming Youtube webcast. Will probably have a shorter one up by tomorrow. But worth watching I thought.

Here's one now. Landing starts at 41:30.

Heh...I'll give him credit for the jab (though I still maintain that BO still hasn't really accomplished anything notable until they put something into orbit).

Nice! Not quite as elegant looking as the launch-only shots, but definitely interesting to see the relationship of the paths.

Thanks for giving me a reason to figure out if I could post a gifv using the new {video} tag. It technically works, but you have to manually change the extension to .mp4 (and that'll only work on imgur I think).
