If anyone has a link to a better vid of the landing, please post.
Guess I missed it too
Thanks
I think the recovery of these boosters with their vertical landing on a “postage stamp” pad is more impressive than the launch. Truly amazing!
the year....2019
For the first time in a long time I feel that science fiction is real. I remember back in 1974 in first grade looking at my lunchbox where Americans were on the moon shooting with ray guns at one some foreign bastards. It is 2023, where in the hell are our %#&@ ray guns?
All joking aside, when I watched that video from SpaceX, it was almost too futuristic to be real, like it was a special effects production .However, I know it’s real and I’m so excited for the future:

Wow. I missed this launch and landing of 3 Boosters back in 2019.
Amazing. 2 Booster landings on land. 1 Booster on a Drone Ship.
Thx for posting.
Absolutely precision engineering and control system.
Elon Musk is an amazing engineer/designer.
Bear in mind, how large the NASA staff was in the early days of space travel. (pre computer, cedar pencil/slide rule days)
I remember the shift in phase during the Shuttle Missions. (I lived in NM then.) I remember listening to the up/down links from the shuttle via a Ham Radio repeater, linked into the Cactus Net; from the JPL in California. It was all smiles when we listened to that on a handi talkie in a restaurant in Deming NM. Pre Cell Phone and pre Internet.
amazing... thanks for posting!
