Obviously the guy talking knows about these boosters. He was calling ths shots before they happened. I would have been like watching those boosters /missiles heading to earth that fast.

Safer as well, SRBs can't be throttled or shut off.

Is the landing spot exact or is figured into a general area?

Exact. These are the two landing pads. X marks the spot! The one on the lower left has a booster from a previous launch landed on it.

Absolutely amazing how fast they came down and then decelerated with engine blasts into 2 perfect landings.

Although I've worked at manufacturing, testing, or launch facilities exclusively for 16 years I'm not nerdy about any of this stuff. I'm mostly ground support, pressure systems, so I like when they use liquid fuels instead of solids. I also like when they don't explode the pad/stand.

Just saying, I don't hope for 'events' like I do for NASCAR crashes.

Hey that game audio cranked up would send chills down your back when you were about to hit the ground.

This entire rocket launch only cost $90m.
Cheap by space standards.
