On the 8th of April 2016 SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully a Launch -> Package Delivery to ISS -> Landing procedure onto their drone barge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Video below of the drone landing.

Even with the barge being pounded by waves in the middle of the Atlantic ocean the Falcon 9 rocket managed to stick the landing. Just astounding.

At first I though okay, the video shown was probs a rewind... but I saw it again. Wow.

Haha and also there are funny comments in the youtube section.

"/r/askengineers and /r/spacex mod here,

Looks like all that hard work we put in at reddit really paid off."

History was made yesterday, a day always remembered in the Future

Nah great job they did there. It may take a lot of more testing till this can be done with people inside, but it's a great start.

Congraz SpaceX!!!
