It is becoming common place.

68 orbital launches so far this year.
66 of them were successful.
33 of them by SpaceX alone - all of them were successful

I recall growing up when one launch a year was a big deal, and all 3 of the channels covered it in detail. Now, most people don't even know when one happens. That is a GOOD thing. The more ho-hum they are, the better!

Oh, and nice capture!

Maybe for you, but every time I watch a booster land on a floating barge - live, I get a lump in my throat. That is one impressive piece of engineering. They have done it 33 times in a row successfully so far this year.

It is amazing to watch them land on a ship at sea.

Just think of the technology and capability contained within the launch cycles..will at some point be to our future benefit in some way.
