My dad was a space exploration geek. He used to wake us up at all hours of the day/night/morning to watch launches on tv when I was a kid. He would have loved this.

I'd seen plenty of those with Apollo and the space shuttle. But, then those boosters came back and landed on their own pads. HOLY CRAP!!!!! OMG!!!!

Nice touch with the dummy in the roadster, with "Don't Panic!" on the screen.

That was so fucking cool!!!!
