SpaceX's first DOD flight is underway. Since they weren't allowed to
cover the 2nd stage, the long range camera followed the first stage all
the way from launch to a successful landing at their landing zone at
Cape Canaveral. Those "ass-backwards" burns are quite impressive to
see! If you didn't watch the thing live like I did, you really should
watch the replay video.
