"BasicSpecificFalcon" even gfycat knows.
How much for a ride on the next one?
This kind of consistency is exactly what they needed. Showing you can do it once is great. Doing it twice is fantastic. Three times in a row and you're undeniable.
Didn't get to watch this one live unfortunately. Just finished watching the recording though, pretty amazing they nailed the 3 engine landing burn.
See you all at the end of the month for the next one, will be a GEO mission again. The one after that will be a land landing. Can't wait for the Falcon Heavy demo at the end of the year, will be amazing to watch three cores try to land.
OCISLY just got into port a few hours ago.

He plans to do an AMA on Reddit just before they launch the first re-used stage.

When will be that?

Hopefully in July or August..maybe. No confirmed dates yet though, sounds like they are going to send it up with a paying customer's payload on board so they need to sort out who's going to go up on it still.
