Just watched another successful Space-X launch, a re-supply mission to

This stuff never gets old for me.

Thanks for the link. I watched the video on it.

The ability of SpaceX to land the first stage back on earth
never ceases to amaze me.

Yes, and watching them land the first stage on a remotely controlled
floating platform (drone ship) is even more impressive. They have
come a long way in a short time, certainly a tribute to Elon Musk's
vision and leadership. It makes you wonder what he'll attempt next.
