yes, musk and the spacex team have pulled off a remarkable task
some of the video is spectacular
kudos to them
I was not in the camp of believers thinking he would pull this off on the very first try. I figured an abort and land in the ocean, possibly even a crash and some destruction to stage 0, for the first attempt. To pull this off on the very first try is a testament to just how much they've modelled their hardware.

Here's a fascinating program that is/was on PBS that includes Marc Buie (he was awarded the Order of the Lion by the Sengalese government). He's working with a local astronomer to do something incredibly controversial: tell the Muslim community what the right time is to pray. The clerics there have their times, but the planet shifts and those times are wrong. Now, science abuts religious practice. Wow.
Here's Marc explaining what the consequence would be if you don't get the right measurements at the right time in the right place (maybe because of weather or other logistics). Well, maybe you can get it later?
I was a freshman, 1976, at LSU, walking down the hallway of Hatcher dorm when I heard a 'boop' repeatedly coming from a room, that sounded exactly like the opening of Echoes. Aha! Another Floyd fan! Turns out it was something else, but I became friends with Marc Buie. We roomed together, played in a punk band together, won (!) a campus Trivia Bowl together, got put on disciplinary probation together, and have been friends ever since.
