Dam near a 1950's sifi movie.

Outstanding to live long enough to see we are going back in space.

It’s amazing how many people haven’t been following spacex the last 5 years.

Flat earthers and conspiracy theorists are already using this exact line of reasoning to say it was all fake.

I wonder what they did to the tires .... how long can they hold air in space?

I wonder what kind of tires are on the Tesla. Wouldn’t regular tires explode in space? Would make for a good tire commercial

Damn...beat me to it

Stunning. That is simply stunning to me. Incredible.

Depends. Are they filled with pure nitrogen?

Probably nothing. You know the space shuttle had tires...

For a really really long time... or until some space debris or asteroid collides with one and pops it... then if they were pressurized, that'll throw the whole thing out of orbit.

The first rule of center core is: you do not talk about center core.

A good friend of mins who coordinates the landing barge texted me this: "We didn't catch the core. She landed just off the side of the barge. The core lost communication with the barge just prior to its landing. Lots of communication going on with 3 rockets coming down at once. Still a HUGE win and success for us though. Man we didn't even expect it to make it past the launch pad."

Has the Tesla car caught on fire yet.

That lift off was cool. The return of the boosters was awesome.
