That's a sweet picture. Everything that I could see looked awesome. The VPs were jumping around like little kids in the front of mission control so you know it had to have gone really well
Space X made history again, every other rocket company had to have muttered some unpleasant words when the 1st stage landed, and if they didn't they should be as the entire rocket industry just changed.
Very cool stuff!
About the stage coming in hot, it's easier from a propellant utilization POV. If you try to come in slow you use a lot of time and prop in order to slow down and stay slow. As opposed to lighting the engine at the last second with barely enough prop onboard means you can take more weight to space or better trajectories etc.
Which one is which? Assuming the left is blast off, why does the landing have a break in the thrust/engine in that picture, was it literally not burning during that time?
The angle also looks really steep, but I suppose the aircraft can be upright relatively easy despite the landing arch?
