okay, they didn't hit the inner bullseye but the rocket's in the outside bullseye.

Rocket looks in really good shape.
 
Does it have to balance on that drone ship all the way home? Or do they secure the legs somehow now?

I think the plan is they'll send people out there to weld some caps over the ends of the landing legs to keep it stationary

Balance shouldn't really be a big problem though, because its center of gravity is actually very low. Slipping off is probably a bigger concern than tipping over
