Successful landing and hadn’t blown up on the pad when they cut the video feed water cannons must have been doing their job

AMERICA!! frick YEAH

This was pretty awesome and a HUGE achievement as far as the future of space travel goes, but dammit the cloudy conditions ruined some pretty incredible potential video coverage

Oh well, onto the next step! Gotta figure out the fire issues upon landing though

Does Elon go down in history as second most important individual in aviation next to Wright Brothers?

I’d say easily and maybe even surpass if he keeps achieving things.

the 3rd engine never lit

Liquid oxygen expands in volume 131 times when boiling at atmospheric pressure. Liquid methane expands 119 times. It doesn't take much extra propellant to make a lot of gas to get rid of.

...and inventors. Obviously billionaires are free to whatever they want with their money. So many of them just sit on it. The ones willing to invest and invent new technology deserve to be recognized.

Elon Musk is one of the greatest visionaries who has ever lived.
