    About 58:00 to watch the landing

    I like that camera shot that looked like it was coming from some kind of drone just after takeoff and just before landing

    I assume it is a drone because it was so close, I don't think they would fly a person that close

      That was awesome. Especially the booster coming down.

        Axshually, it looks like SpaceX does a better (more accurate) landing.

        I doubt that the landing today would have been good enough to land on one of SpaceX's drone ships.

          Very cool. Yeah that drone shot during the landing (and takeoff) almost looked fake! So good.

                Is it just me, or does that thing look like a knob?

                I was only joking

                    Sorry, I should have said 'Is it just me or does that thing look like my knob?'.

                        Apparently not! (Which I must admit is a bit of a relief. Er, bad choice of word)
