I watched with no audio, so I may have missed some good information. I noticed a few times during the initial flight what looked like a directional thruster shooting to the right from about the middle of the device where the white stripe is, including around the time that the second thruster went out. Then after the last thruster shut off you could see not only that middle thruster going but also 2 or 3 at the time of the device. It was a cool video, and impressive even though it wasn't quite 100% successful.

The Space-X stuff is extremely impressive. I know that for my parents, men in space, men on the moon and the space shuttle were extremely impressive. For me the Space Shuttle, I know now, was, but I guess because I was a kid it just seemed only natural.

For me, the most impressive stuff has been what Space-X has done like the graceful landings of the boosters and then the video that we just saw.
