Rocket Lab successfully splashs down Electron booster after orbital launch

Peter Beck, CEO and founder of Rocket Lab, actually posted "Welcome back to Earth Electron!" with an image of their Electron rocket swimming on the ocean but an editorialized title seemed more descriptive since it gives some context for the uninitiated.

Once they reliably can do that, they will attempt to catch the booster with a helicopter during descent, that is before it touches down in the ocean. I would assume that means they need to figure out how to secure the booster (venting fuel and oxygen?) already during descent.
