I'm sure there are some fellow space geeks on this forum, so in case you've missed it, they successfully landed the falcon 9 first stage on the barge.

I love Elon Musk's comment regarding this...

"We will be successful when this becomes boring..."

I'm a fully signed up member of the space geek fraternity.

Was fortune enough to be able to take my old man to Florida for his 60th to see that last ever space shuttle take off. Amazing experience that will live with us both forever.

Thats amazing, simply amazing! Now to get to Mars!

I have always been a space geek, it always fascinated me, I always wonder what could be achieved if the US gave even just 1 years Defence spending to R&D for space travel :?
