About a safe return. well, right now it looks like thats exactly what we have. those teams are making the way to the capsule. thats had a soft landing via the three parachutes and the thrusters right before making impact there. and from our vantage point, a couple miles from the launch pad, i cant impress upon you enough what its like to hear the sound and then see that rocket already rising above the desert floor, but then feel that boom hit you as it rises even higher. whats so unique about th...
