Very impressive.

Interesting that when it's falling in "feathered" mode for reentry it's
velocity is great than a bullet fired from most rifles.

3400 + feet per second as I recall.

And during that time the pilot says he can fold his arms, take his feet off the
pedals and just sit back and enjoy the ride.
