That may have been the coolest cinematography of a real piece of space hardware I've ever seen. One robotically controlled flying camera shooting and flying around a reusable spaceship, both right out of sci-fi.

More often I feel that I'm living in the future.

I didn't read about what it was supposed to do before I watched the video.

Seeing it stop in mid-air then land perfectly... wow. It actually gave me chills. That's some year 2213 shit, here, now. Amazing.
