Penises in Space. There. I said it........

contemplates the wisdom of said statement.

On a serious note. I love these videos. I remember the chants of 'USA! USA!' after the success of previous landings. :-)

It's a technological marvel to watch those stages return and land.

I find these rockets spectacular as they land upright!

..and to land on these tiny platforms floating in the ocean... it is just mind blowingly good to watch. :-)

This is directed at the space program, not an individual ... this just seemed the best place to park this comment. ;)

I'd just like to point out that we took a rocket, launched it, landed it on the Moon, took off from the Moon and brought it back to Earth back in 1969 with far less sophisticated equipment.

Assuming that above sentence to be true ... my question is ... why is taking off from Earth and landing back on Earth nearly 50 years later with superior technology so marveling to people? ;)

Because it's back and it's better.

Finally they made it :)

Yes finally!!
