They continue to experience failures, but it's very impressive to do it successfully at all!

Considering SpaceX's success rate at landing the Falcon 9 on the barge - which is NOT great...

It was awfully convenient the video feed from the barge just cut out for the entire landing. They were like "the Falcon 9 is approaching, lets go to the on board camera....oops, nothing there....look at the Dragon vehicle making it's way into orbit....lets go back to the barge....oh look - the Falcon 9 has landed perfectly! Yay"

Whatever, the humans were seamlessly delivered to the space station as intended. That's a great success.

Saw this today, for consideration regarding the feed cutting out. Apparently it’s been an ongoing issue...

So what we are saying here is we figured out how to bring a rocket back from orbit and land it on a tennis court floating alone in the ocean, but are having trouble figuring out how to make a movie. My cell phone is available if they need it

Haha, yeah well sounds more like not worth the trouble to fix it, but that’s pretty funny.
