Dave that was a fantastic trip! I would have loved to have been there to see and learn what you did! Thanks for stepping outside the Creating Space format for this story! It is an amazing story you got to experience. The photo's are awesome. The size of the vehicles sounds small, especially when you think horizontally on the length but when you put the vehicle vertical then the scale becomes mind numbing! That's for adding those photos! Keep your memories of this written down and in 30 or so years this will be a story for Creating Space. Current events eventually become history.
This isn’t just another landing. It’s SpaceX saying: we’re scaling reusability to the point where multiple landing zones are necessary. That’s a civilizational shift rockets are no longer disposable monuments to single missions, but part of a reusable fleet.
In other words, Falcon’s landing at LZ‑40 isn’t just about Cape Canaveral. it’s about normalizing the idea that humanity’s path to space will be paved by rockets that come back, again and again.
This was a great account of that wonderful experience you had. Thanks for sharing it

So jealous of your HangerX tour.
I feel very fortunate to have been able to see it.
