Really, I found it only mildly more impressive than the Testers model rockets I shot off when I was a kid.


Doesn't seem all that impressive compared to what SpaceX is doing. The capsule seems to hit the ground pretty hard. It seems like they could fit some retro rockets to it to slow it down a bit more. Billionaire's bucket list item.
