It will be excellent to see the "direct" footage when they release it.
Were my Mk I eyeballs deceiving me (etirely possible) or was the thing
not quite fully vertical before it reached the water?

Imagine the effect on the industry when that stage lands intact on a
solid surface. Imagine the even greater effect when that same stage
is relaunched successfully for another flight!

I'm just glad you used effect rather than "impact"
