We now have two American launch companies that are recovering boosters (well, three, if we count Rocketlab).

An hour late, but worth the wait.
Always good to hear young engineers cheering.
Congrats Blue Origin. A job well done! Beautiful landing, can’t wait to see the footage of the booster hovering.
Third, Blue Origin’s announcers were once again annoying, distracting, ignorant, and childishly emotional.
Which is why I watch these things with the sound disabled. Too many people seem to think that their voice will improve any video.
Maybe these streaming services need to have multiple sound channels, to be mixed by the viewer.
SpaceX had a separate ‘technical feed’ in years past that skipped the commentary and just played audio from the launch net. It was good.
