It wasn't their best stream, others have been better. The achievement of landing and potentially reducing the cost is enough.
> potentially reducing the cost Aren't we getting close to being safe to assume that this is actually true? They've already re-used a number of boosters. (:
They can make it to 20.

And as always, the live video feed of the landing was clunky :). They should nail one with a steady stream.
Every time I've watched a landing, the video feed is janky. One might speculate that they don't want to live-stream an embarrassing failure but that seems a bit odd when it would be more embarrassing to have an explosion during launch, losing the payload. Edit: vvvv that sounds quite reasonable, you'd think they'd do something like throw a buoy 100m away to house the actual satellite link and just do wifi from the ba…
Bouys bounce around a lot - the drone ships have special station-keeping thrusters to stay in place.
Spacex launched a satellite to the space and returned back to earth safely faster than our JenkinsCI builds most of our apps.

I'd blame your source code more than Jenkins. Our jenkins instance runs our CI in a couple of minutes.
They were supposed to attempt to land/rescue some other part of the rocket this time. There was nothing about it in the webcast.
The aim is to get it to land in a predetermined spot in the ocean with steerable parafoils, then eventually to stick a 'bouncy castle' at that spot to soften the landing.

Which is why it's beautiful, despite the less than brilliant connection :)
Like passenger planes leaving airports, I'll never not find this amazing.
Successful landing on Please read the instructions. 15 consecutive landings
