This is very cool.  Our nephew Ian is an engineer at SpaceX and worked on the landing legs,  I was struck by the the energy of the young people.

Very Cool. I watched the entire launch and recovery live when it happened.
Was a great way to test new technology on an otherwise expendible rocket stage.

Anyone learning about the details of the moon landing program (Projects Mercury, Gemini and Apollo) from 1961-1969 for the first time, would be similarly struck by the energy of the young people working on that. The average age of the engineers at the landing was 28.
