The onboard from the Soyuz looked smooth, I was expecting all sorts of shaking.

I'm going to be out so I'll miss the live coverage. Hope they pull it off. I'm still expecting a "flash, bang, wallop" type landing.

Looking forward to this. Fingers crossed they do it.

enjoyed that one

[callmedave]

Well the launch was fine. But no footage of the lower stage landing. Apparently landed but too hard and can't be re-used

[MartG]

Next SpaceX launch targeted for next Friday - no landing planned this time though due to fuel requirements ( and I suspect the barge will need a few repairs too )
