No explosions this time? Good.

It's impressive that the rocket came back onto its designated landing pad with pin-point accuracy. I mean, yes, they do have very powerful computers onboard that control the course of the rocket and its thrusters to the most minute degree, but still.

I commented about this on you tube. You can't believe the people that told me I was an idiot for believing this really happened. Some even said satellites don't really exist and the I.S.S. was being videos in a studio. Maybe it won't be a bad thing if machines take over after all.

Satellites don't exist? Good grief, you can go away from the cities and watch them zipping across the sky.

at 20:40 the landing starts to looks really bogus.
No continuous shot. Camera loses sight of the rocket. Wide angle shot follows. Landing gear deploys a second before landing. Springy landing. All subsidized by you!
If I was an investor I'd be pissed.

I have no desire for the outcome. It does not matter if I have flown rockets.
I've seen real miracles of engineering with my own eyes. B2 bombers flying low in the high desert. I saw a sliver in the horizon bank into and amazing geometric wing, heard only after it was gone. F22's pass right above me along the Salton Sea and they sounded more like Formula One cars than what I thought jets sounded like. They rocked my car and flew right above the water only to become two single dots in the distance as they maneuvered into the mountains of Anzo Borrego. I saw the shuttle Discovery fly by piggy back on a 747. I've even seen real high altitude craft that emit light, UFOs. All those things are real. This my friend, I cannot say checks out.
Yes, I have zetetic eyes. its my nature. Maybe some nurture.
Use your eyes. Use your intellect. They're miracles of nature..
