Thanks for this!!

Had no idea this was gonna happen.

I have no idea if we have even had a manned mission before on SpaceX...( I don't pay attention..LOL)

What a remarkable success. And seeing how that rocket landed point blank on the drone ship was very impressive!

My daughter's boyfriend works for SpaceX in LA. Exciting day for him too.
