Successful stage separation and second engine start. Let's hope this ends in a true triumphant landing rather than a big ball of fire splashing down.

 

*Edit*

 

LANDED! Such heroes. Congratulations to SpaceX once again!

Thought they'd ploughed that one! That spray from the side of the drone ship and then the camera feed cutting out.

Not quite dead centre but they still made it - and more importantly a good orbit for the second stage!

I wish that footage hadn't cut out from OCISLY...I bet that landing was HAIRY.  When the footage froze it look like the engine was kicking up waves off the side of the barge, then there were scorch marks all the way across to the other side, then S1 was sitting off-center.  Crazy!

That landing burn looked sketchy (the splash to the left of the droneship and the inaccurate landing suggests that they had to make a last minute correction) did I hear something about a 3 engine landing burn?
