Awesome to watch. Thanks for starting the thread as I would have missed watching it live otherwise.

The recovery of the boosters will never not be amazing no matter how many times I see it.

Musk does a great job of taking stupid insane amounts of government cash and being more efficent / effective with that cash than the government would be if they did it themselves.

MUCH more. Which actually makes it worthwhile if one is a proponent of space exploration.

One of the main reasons that SpaceX won the lunar lander contract, aside from being the most capable model put forth, was that SpaceX didn’t add R&D cost into the price making them by far the cheapest.

He thinks he can get that back with private sector billings.
It's not a bad strategy if there is enough private sector business to be had.

Boosters landing still looks like CGI
This tops my list of shite I want to see from a safe distance. A. Rockets flying backward.
B. A tornado.

Wonder what the new space force satellite does? Man I wish I had security clearance to find out.

Why would fog on the ground matter for a launch unto space?
