Weird song that is more acclaimed than it deserves, very cool rocket.
Total non-sequitur here.

So rocket ship goes up about 1100 feet and then rocket ship comes back down. I guess I don’t get it. What is the big deal about that?

Cool but it probably burned all it’s onboard fuel performing that little demo. Chemical rockets are a losing proposition. They will never power us into deep space or beyond.

Looks like using twice as much fuel as would make sense.

Reminds me of how rocket ships were portrayed in 1950s sci-fi flicks.

Impressive but it has to carry fuel to land into orbit, the first stage or all of them?

I forgot what the proportion was but for every pound of weight in the Saturn V, X pounds of fuel were required.
It seems parachutes would make more sense.

Is this an animation?

The shadows of the rocket and the water tower are not parallel.

I’ll be heading to Waco in a few weeks. Anyone have connections with SpaceX that I can talk to about getting a tour? Used to work for a NASA contractor (avionics software), grew up across the street from JSC and my father was Mission Control from Apollo to Shuttle... so it’s a big interest to me personally.

Impressive but too much fuel required to do that from orbit.

Strange combustion jet...central high velocity core surrounded by tongues of lazy, fuel=rich flame at different locations. Wonder what accounts for that?
