Poetry in motion.
Fuckin engineers, man.
I really hope the landing works now. Separation was perfect.
Amazing that we can watch this is in good detail, good luck on the re-entry.
;)
Looking a tad wonky. :S
The fins are glowing pretty brightly.
Aw man, I hope it reacquires the video downlink
Looks like it almost missed it, also sitting a little on an angle.
YES!!!
THEY FUCKING GOT IT HOLY SHIT
On a tilt though!
Holy shit it landed, looks like it used up the crush zone on the landing legs again though.
Landed.
Goddamn that was so nerve wrecking. I'm proud as hell though, what a landing.
It's not recovered yet though, when we had a leaner before Musk said there's a risk that it could actually topple over before getting to port.

Hopefully there's no sudden storms that would cause that though.

The recovery roomba should keep it stable and upright.

That's a new one, recovery roomba hahahaha.

I hope so. Not sure if roomba would actually fit under it from how much it was leaning though. I guess we will see how bad it is when it comes into port.

Looks like stage 2 started up again successfully so pending deployment it looks to be a total success.
Deployment confirmed, niiiiiiice work guys
If the sat checks in okay then total success.
My balls are deep inside my chest cavity right now and they aren't coming out, any suggestions?

New black grid fins look schmick! :joy:
Just making sure, Iridium-2 is going to be an upgraded replacement of the original [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_satellite_constellation]Iridium satellite constellation,[/url] right?

It's the second (of eight) SpaceX launch of the Iridium NEXT constellation iirc..
