Loren Grush gives an exceptionally lucid explanation of the things SpaceX is trying to accomplish. If you don't grok the science, this is a good one since she doesn't patronize. Besides, she's a redhead.
Stay with it until the actual launch since this one gives a good taste of the thunder. Watching her behold it is deeply magical since she looks really awestruck. I only had the luck to get to one Shuttle launch but the thunder at launch time is something you really need to experience for yourself sometime. It's more raw power than may you ever experience except from a volcano but this Vesuvius is under control.
Ed: until it's not!
Yah, yah, Skeptical Man. SpaceX has a better launch record than NASA in its early days since NASA was exploding one rocket after the other before the Mercury program started.
Ed: do you even know what man'splainin' means?
Nope
Ed: do you care?
Nope
Yesterday, SpaceX demonstrated an important capability of its Falcon 9 rocket fleet: the vehicles are capable of launching to space multiple times and then landing again. From Cape Canaveral, Florida, the company relaunched a used Falcon 9 rocket that had already launched to the space station in April of last year. For more details, check out Loren's post: The Verge

Here's another one, also from Loren:
Unlike other videos of yesterday's launch, this one shows us what it looked like.
SpaceX has finally landed its Falcon 9 rocket on a drone ship at sea, after launching the vehicle into space this afternoon. It's the first time the company has been able to pull off an ocean landing, after four previous attempts ended in failure. Today's success is a crucial milestone for SpaceX, as it shows the company can land its rockets both on solid ground and ocean.
