That external view of the entry burn was awesome.

Live sonic booms! Neat!

Boom. Very nice.

Beautiful... Woot...
And the flies they took onboard just got one hell of a ride! |

I had no idea they could fit that thing in a normal fairing. Cool.
Unrelated, but this video is beautiful. Clearest shot they've had yet of a landing from the air. View full screen for the best effect. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GrP3jHuLQ9o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
That is absolutely gorgeous in 4k.

Crazy. It looks bigger in pictures.
Next launch is 10 days away. This will be the second re-flown booster. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hours after CRS-11 lifted off, this flight-proven booster rolled into the hangar at 39A; targeting June 17 launch of BulgariaSat-1. <a href="https://t.co/ZcqRQeJPx6">pic.twitter.com/ZcqRQeJPx6</a></p>— SpaceX (@SpaceX) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/872455800177831936">June 7, 2017</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |
Seems funny looking without the legs.
Amazing turnaround. And cool that we'll get another launch just 8 days later at VAFB. That'll be the first time for 3 launches in a month. |
