Holy shit - real time video from the first stage!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPYOtCFSLKw has a stage one cam onboard.

Stick it geeks!

Boom.

Yes! Another 5 x 5

Damn - they're getting good at this!

They might have recovered the fairing as well.

That view of the first stage thrusters firing followed by the entry burn was epic. I'm anxiously waiting on a gif of that.

Less than 3 minutes after this, it was standing stationary on a boat.

Looks like at least one of the grid fins got pretty toasted.

What their current recovery rate for the year? I know they were shooting for 70%, seems pretty likely now.

Payload delivered.

No "USA, USA, USA!" chants this time...

If you go back to when they resumed launches in December after the failure last spring...

Orbcomm OG2 - Landed at LZ-1 successfully. (success)
Jason 3 - Landed on OCISLY, but leg didn't lock out. (failure)
SES-9 - Landed hard on OCISLY. Made a big hole in the boat. (failure)
CRS-8 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success)
JCSAT-14 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success)
Thaicom-8 - Landed successfully on OCISLY. (success)

So they're at 67% right now, but the fact that they've landed three in a row, twice in the most difficult scenarios (GTO missions), bodes well.

Now they just have to re-launch one...
