I remember the first booster landing. I was literally jumping up and down in my living room, even though I was just a spectator. I've dreamed of reusable rockets my entire life, and to see it happen was pretty incredible. Now I'm looking forward to stage 2 reusability.

Likewise... and when the Falcon heavy boosters landed side by side I was convinced that I was watching the making of history, but I’ve a feeling now that there’s so much yet to come from SpaceX over the next few years anything from the Falcon era is likely to be unimpressive by comparison.

We were watching it at work (remember offices?), had several people around someone's monitor. Somebody walks by, and asks what movie that is that we were watching. Couldn't convince them that it was real.
