An amazing achievement, and one I'm sorry to have missed watching live as I was AFK.
However, having watched this just now, I could have really done without all the bro-nerd whooping and faux prime time personality-presentation. The latter's awkward and naff and just got in the way for me - the former was simply irritating in the extreme.
Maybe I'm getting old, but I'd rather have a bit of restraint and less of the infantile gesticulation and cursing in the background where this sort of thing's concerned.

Anyway, onwards and upwards (and back again), SpaceX!
- harshreality 11y agoIt's not just you. This is my take on it: However nerve-racking the launch and first stage recovery were, this wasn't a sports event, and cannot support that kind of hyper-enthusiastic presentation style without looking staged and histrionic. Sports presentations like that work because there are lots of fans cheering wildly in the background, and sports might be unique in their license to evoke extreme enthusiasm without being seen as bizarre. I'm sure some people are less bothered by it than we are, though.
- simonh 11y ago'presentation style'. Are you suggesting the employee audience reaction was staged and orchestrated, and not just spontaneous?
- detritus 11y agoNo, I mean the three mugs up front yakking away distractingly. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to house the loud employees in a large sound-proof booth, but I suspect that would only lead to yet more downvotes here...
