3-engine landing burn?
This rocket was meant to test very high retrothrust landing in water so it didn’t hurt the droneship, but amazingly it has survived. We will try to tow it back to shore.pic.twitter.com/hipmgdnq16

It was really wonderful, I need to know exactly how everything is done. It's just incredible how human beings can create and manage things like this :D
-
Science. That's how.
-
And luck, well mostly luck in this case.
-
"Largely" — yes. But "mostly"? Show me an Atlas V booster that got lucky enough to survive EDL and could be fished out of water and towed back to base ;-)))

Quite the difference simple terminology can make, eh?pic.twitter.com/ptPa9Leqrb

Haha. Indeed. I though that, say, 40% was enough to justifying the use of for "largely", and in this case, I wouldn't give luck the 51% required by "mostly" ;-)

I've spotted the problem, Elon. Rockets are meant to fly and not swim. I'll accept Bitcoin or hugs.

-
Why not just light those motors one more time;)
