The physics seem so odd as you watch it until you realize just how big and heavy the ship is.

On the water, yes. They already stuck it on land.
ETA: Looks like they "missed" the landing by 20 feet

That's one of the most incredible things man has ever accomplished. The amount of variables that went into that are staggering. That's like finding a needle in a haystack on steroids.

That is simply amazing.
You could see the launch beautifully from Orlando.

The weather was perfect today for watching this launch.
From Orlando you could see it as far up and I can ever remember for any launch.
It was clear with low humidity and low haze and it took place later in the day so the sun was no problem in watching the launch.
Just amazing today.

I thought it was another company that was able to land it on land.
Not sure why SpaceX is trying to do this on water. Land seems much easier.
