Are you watching the speed as it increases?

It just reached 10km/hr.

On the car's display is....

 

[Quetzal]

All three boosters are on the way back to their respective landing positions. Second stage is well on its way!

 

[Quetzal]

LZ 1 AND LZ 2 THE FALCONS HAVE LANDED!!!

 

[Quetzal]

I mean... wow...

 

[Revoltingest]

Though Musk an arsh,
his rocket very hubba hubba!

 

[siti]

Wow! Those two boosters landing - that was like a ballet or something...

 

[Onyx]

The boosters landing simultaneously and in close proximity was a sight to behold.

 

[Quetzal]

There were well over 2 million people watching! What a great day for space travel.

I only watched it accidentally.
I had the boob tube on for background noise, & lo!
There was this big white dingus shooting up in the air!
And the little ding dongs landed all by themselves!
So even Elon Musk has positive attributes.
Who knows.....maybe I'll start saying nice things about Hillary!

You don't mean that!

 

[Revoltingest]

You don't mean that!

Had you going, eh!

 

[Quetzal]

Had you going, eh!

When you give ol'Muskrat a compliment, I am suspicious.

 

[sayak83]

A great day for spaceflight. Yay.
