Holy shite I’m glad to have come across this thread right at launch time.

That was incredible.

This should really drum up support like we haven't seen in a while.

The production here is great. NASA could never have done that, most likely. Say what you will about Musk, but the way he does this stuff will likely send tons of young people into the field.

Those dual boosters landing was so perfect it looked like cgi. Crazy
In contrast, remember the video Elon Musk posted a while back?

Maybe it did, but their reactions were interesting.

Hopefully it did

The simultaneous booster rocket reentry landing was one of the coolest things I've ever seen

Perfect re-landing. That’s crazy.



I honestly was half paying attention at work, and thought that was somehow just a reversal of the original launch. If that was the boosters re-landing, that was insane how perfect it was. Holy shite.

Yeah it should have landed but the cam feed cut out. Commentators said it wasn't unusual as the vibrations could screw up the video equipment.
