    The Gal doing the announcing is the best person for this Job. She educated as well as did the best sequence of events throughout the entire process.

    20 landings of the same rocket are 20 landings more than any other manufacturer! And it won't stop here. Next target will be the 25th landing and so on. 👏
  • Mr Musk & SpaceX are absolutely INCREDIBLY AWESOME! The rest of the world is still trying to cope with this NEW ERA, most of them are in denial! Go SpaceX to Mars & beyond!

    I really wish you would have a video with the satellites deploying. It should be it’s own separate one at a different time.
