The landing of the other stage that was jettisoned was also very clever. I think that touched down on a ship exactly inside the yellow circle marked on the deck – amazing how it was all done!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-52855029They'll use some of the intervening hours to test equipment and procedures in their capsule, including doing some manual flying.
Although the Dragon capsule is a fully automated vehicle capable of finding its own way to the ISS, the crew needs to prepare for all eventualities and that means knowing exactly how the ship will behave in their hands.
Uniquely, the Dragon has no control stick; all flight commands must be entered via a touchscreen panel.

You are more than welcome summer, pleased you found the link useful. It really was quite something to watch that launch wasn't it, far better probably than is seen on TV.
