How many times do you trust to re-use?

I showed my mom the replay of the "live from Space-X" video where they had the entire mission from launch to this barge landing and she cried (I got choked up, too). She kept saying, "Oh, wow! Oh, wow! Oh my God! That is incredible! Oh my God!"
It was truly awesome. Thanks Space-X!

They weld "shoes" on the landing gear right on the floor of the ship for transport :)

We were 5 people interested in this and watched it live. Lots of high-fives ensued and cheering like our favourite team just scored a huge win - which they did.
What an awesome time to be alive!
PS: Orbcomm-2 booster will be put on display outside of Hawthorn SpaceX facility. They recently got clearance from the FAA to put it there because it's going to be the highest structure around, way to send a signal! -

dude, could you imagine a air craft carrier like ship that the air force uses but for spacex rockets. one that could hold like 10 of them. that'd be so bad ass.

If I recall correctly they will land on drone ship about 1/2 of launches but they want to push it to 1/3.

Elon said he wants to reuse the rocket in May or June
