Are they landing the rocket today or after it docks with the space station?


I understood it to mean they were going to catch the booster that fell off after 2 minutes.

I understand physics, but it just seems impossible outside of a vacuum, with variable wind speeds, and the poor aerodynamics of a tumbling hunk of metal.

They were able to control it well enough during launch though.
