"Stage 1 has been saved"!!! Edit: Apparently it's not what I hoped, http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/2swnth/how_well_does... 'saved' and 'safed' are pretty similar on stream...

I heard "Stage 1 FTS has been saved" and shortly after, "Stage 2 FTS has been saved". Not sure what FTS means but hopefully its capture was a success!

FTS means flight termination system. Meaning the thing that blows it up if it goes off course and is going to crash into people. They were saying "safed" not "saved", meaning, no longer armed.
