Awesome stuff.
I couldn't help but wonder, while I watched the feed: What are the people in mission control doing during the landing?
Obviously they're monitoring telemetry - but what else? Presumably the time delay precludes them triggering anything critical manually, and making post-launch software changes would be frowned upon?
