It's good to have an administration who knows what NASA is...and what it isn't!

I watched it live, and to be honest, a three-stage rocket with capsule at the top brought back memories of my youth and watching the Apollo program launchings with my family.

Honest question - so, the right screen was showing the first stage returning to the droneship. It was still well above the clouds, then started turning sideways a bit..... then the live feed went blank, a 'technical issues' screen came up, and then returned 'live' five seconds later and showing the booster already landed on drone. How does it go from way above the clouds to a perfect landing in five seconds?

I was looking forward to that landing...
I know they have done it before, but I've never actually seen it.
So I kept my eye on it right up until the bank screen, then bam... its landed... WTH? work
Backed up the DVR... figured I missed something...
Nope, it went from in the clouds to platform in less time than it took me to pick up my remote.

Oh well... another of life's little mysteries....
