Clear weather resulted in spectacular video of orbital return and landing on the barge.
The mission isn’t over until the spacecraft have been inserted in the appropriate orbit.
Pretty impressive. Rocky Jones is back.
My son and I visited the Kennedy Space Center on Jan 1. They showed a video of a SpaceX rocket landing on a barge. It was pretty cool.
Say what you like about Elon Musk, he knows how to get big, challenging things done.
It’s not like rocket science or anything - shows why private sector is much more efficient than NASA, who’s primary mission these days includes climate scam and reaching out to muslims.
While NASA worries about Global Warming
Fuel is cheaper than rocket motors and certified high-pressure tanks.
But for true heavy lift you need every drop.

Thank you for the post. It was very informative, enjoyable, and uplifting. It only goes to show MAGA is a contagious concept. No slight of Musk is inferred with that. His and his team’s accomplishments are impressive. Iridium deserves kudos too for their fine work and having faith in Space-x.
I would like to see upwards of five to ten of these space companies exploiting the opportunities in space.
The U. S. must retain it’s clear leadership there.
This is strategic next frontier high ground stuff.
I have always supported the space programs.
IMO < it exemplifies our spirit as much as anything else does, second only to love of nation and the determination to see it lead long into the future.
