- toxican 10y agoJust as an enthusiast I'm finding what they do rather routine now. The first stage's automated landings were REALLY exciting while they were trying to figure it out, EXTRA exciting when they stuck one, then less and less exciting to me. Still make for gorgeous visuals and are no less impressive objectively, but I'm beginning to understand why people had grown board with lunar landings by Apollo 13.
