I happened to see this just in time to watch the launch. Launch, ho hum.
But the rockets returning from space and literally linking up to that tower just blew my freaking mind!!!! What in the actual f**k???? That was amazing

amazing the can do that catch. But sounds like they lost the ship. I assume it will crash into the gulf.
