 I just realized that the latest SpaceX landing was to land the booster on a 5 story building sized fork as it came down from space. 

GM to all the engineers. The rest of us… gods blessings upon us. https://i.nostr.build/rF02PITL5MWh5NfO.jpg  
 Yeah they do some wild stuff. Landing the boosters on a drone ship in the ocean is even more impressive in my opinion and they have done that loads of times. 
 When you see the video for this IMO much more impressive. 

The one in the ocean it’s on a huge pad. This sits with a millimeter tolerance accuracy. 
 Yeah they're honestly both very impressive. I've stood on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas, it really isn't that big. I guess for my simple brain, getting the booster and the ship in the same location seems so complex rather than a set of arms on a static tower. 
 What do I know about rockets 🤣 it just looks fucking cool! 🚀

 A millimeter tolerance? That sounds hard to believe.
