Damn. I missed it.
So cool how the after Stage 1 separation the spent rocket falls away, then goes vertical, then descends. Stuck the landing, but too hard. "We falcon punched the barge." Can't wait for that footage. Good stuff here: http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comme...ssion_updates/ |
The aim was there. Just gotta slow it down a little more.

It was swinging quite a bit coming into the barge. Gotta get that stabilized. |

Better quality + explosion.

One more for posterity:

I took an advanced College Physics course. We had to plot a trajectory and landing on the moon. This was pre-internet so there was no cheating. Those landings are so damn hard to do because of weight/mass/height and trying to keep the center.
