A milestone in the development of the human race just occurred ... and no one else seems to have posted it to FR, so here it is: Starship has landed and been caught safely by Mechazilla. The world just changed a lot in the last few minutes.

Spacefaring civilization, here we come!
That was amazing. It must suck for the Musk haters not being able to appreciate such an accomplishment due to the hate in their minds.
That was SPECTACULAR!!!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!
Awesome! Just wish they had caught the booster as well. Next time.
It was kind of exciting to watch that.
Clip of catch
SpaceX catches Starship for the first time
https://rumble.com/shorts/v7ict3y
During the broadcast, they showed the thousands of SpaceX employees in facilities all over the United States, cheering, clapping, smiling. This also drives the Left crazy.* The Left would prefer that all of them be unemployed, on the government dole.
* - I wonder if Slotkin will include these thousands of SpaceX employees in her targeted hit list. Anyone who dares to work with/for Trump or Elon must be taught a lesson.
Extraordinary! In my imagination I can see the booster being caught, let down by the chopsticks and then the starship landing right on top of it. Stacked and ready for refueling and reflight. Some day.
I wonder if they called off the double catch to make sure they could attempt to catch the Starship.
We don’t often get to watch history being made, but this was one of those times.
Took my breath away.
Must have been like that watching Charles Lindbergh come in out of the darkness at Le Bourget Airport outside Paris.
I loved how they played “Baby, Come Back” as it came in for the catch
What a deal to be able to do something like that!!!! I should imagine that might save mucho funds!
Incredible. Just... wow.
My exorbitant elocution fails to provide adequate verbiage to express my elation...

Today, Elon Musk is reviled for being successful (and supporting Trump). Some on the left are calling for him to be put against a wall and shot.
Lindbergh’s flight was historic but it really didn’t change the world very much. Musk’s achievements look to be transformative. We’ll just have to wait and see. If the dems succeed in destroying him as they apparently wish to do, who knows?

No, no. Today's left and communists would prefer that ALL would be employed slavishly by their Communist Chinese masters.
But where will all the money come from ?
Move along folks, nothing to see here, unless you want to watch Elon and SpaceX kick everybody’s ass. Man that landing made me smile 😃 👍👍👌
