I'd blame your source code more than Jenkins. Our jenkins instance runs our CI in a couple of minutes.
Not everyone is working on projects that are little more than CRUD webapps. I've worked on code that took hours to compile even on beefy machines.
They were supposed to attempt to land/rescue some other part of the rocket this time. There was nothing about it in the webcast.
That'd be the fairing, the 'nosecone' that covers the payload during launch. It wasn't shown in the webcast because it has a low probability of success (they've made several attempts so far with varying degrees of accuracy and damage) and because there's no live feed from the fairing as it descends. The aim is to get it to land in a predetermined spot in the ocean with steerable parafoils, then eventually to stick a…

I got a 300k line Java app down to seven and a half minutes including unit and functional tests. What are you working with?
Successful landing on Please read the instructions. 15 consecutive landings

Didn't one of the mars rovers bring its own bouncy castle? Hollywood has since used that in several movies.

Probably a giant C++ codebase. Our CI runs can take well over an hour. C++ compiles so damn slowly compared to Java.

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…
