> I bet most people watched this on their toilet seat before scrolling to the next cool thing as if it was nothing

I think GP tries to compare _their_ experience (not the experience of "most people") with what people felt 55 years ago.

idk about them, but I watched it in a live stream starting about an hour early, because I wanted to see the reentry (that plasma is something special) and I didn't want to miss things. Still I don't think it is the same. Not after Falcon 9 landings, double Falcon 9 boosters landings and catching of the Starship first stage. I expected it to be caught today. Got some doubts after the booster missed the tower, but still pretty sure that 2nd stage would make it.
