12:45 AM EDT SpaceX launch and landing thread. They're flying it back to a landing pad on solid ground again, for the second time. The first time worked and was the first successful recovery of a Falcon 9 first stage. Since then, three barge landing attempts were also successful, and three failed attempts have been made.

Jack Murphy
They turn the thing around 180 and burn back to land.
Isaac James
It has to turn around quickly because it's not going to coast to the ocean.
1st stage slows down, turns around, and fires to fly back to launch site
