Orbital builds satellites about 3 miles from my home. I'd kill for a job there.

They even have a sense of humor.

That'd be SpaceX, a different entity than Orbital ATK. Very cool video though.

Great video! Loved the music too. "Liberty Bell March", I think, by Sousa.

Yes it is. A hair fast, but you do what you can to keep the excitement up!

I just watched the US Marine band performing "Liberty Bell" on YouTube. Followed by "Stars and Stripes", and "Semper Fidelis". Great marches! And a great band, too.

I had to watch that a couple of times. I guess it really is rocket science.
That first successful drone ship landing was coming get in hot, then adjusted at just the last second for a successful landing. I thought it was gonna crash.
