Plus a successful static fire for all six engines on Starship!
This causes severe butthurt for the America last screw worms.
I used to watch all of these. I grew up in Cocoa Beach. My dad was a manager at Cape Canaveral/Kennedy. Today my daughter was there to view it with her new husband. Ah ... The memories..... Good times! We had such hope in those days. What happened to the world?
What happened? Bad people in and out of government are not being held responsible.
It was rhetorical, but yes.
Hooray again (golf clap)...Come on, man! Are we ever going to see man walking on the moon and planting the American flag there again or not?...Well, we’re waiting!
Been there. Done that. Time for a buried base there ... And an O’Neill space cylinder ..... Then Mars and mining the asteroids .... Sigh, if only......
America was first then, so why not now? I’d like to see it again here in the 21st century, if not before the end of Trump’s current term. Think of all the rave reviews and being able to say to the skeptics, “See, we told you so!”.
EVERY TIME SOMEONE BADMOUTHS ELON:
I ASK THEM:
ARE YOU REALLY BADMOUTHING A GUY WHO CAN RECOVER HIS BOOSTER ROCKETS WITH THE WELCOMING ARMS OF THE STANCHION????? NASA DUMPED HOW MANY ROCKETS INTO THE VARIOUS OCEANS-—CAN YOU SAY POLLUTION-—AND THIS MAN IS USING THEM OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER.....
YOU REALLY THINK BADMOUTHING ELON IS SMART?????
There’s a newer vid version up, I got an error on the above link.

Awesome split screen of 1st/2nd stage views!
That landing 1st stage return on the pad video never gets old, just like in the 1950s sci-fi
“That landing 1st stage return on the pad video never gets old, just like in the 1950s sci-fi.”
It wasn’t really the 21’st century until the Falcon Heavy boosters landed simultaneously. I barely believed what I was seeing, but, there they were.
I watch ‘em, usually in replay, and it goes like clockwork. I was watching the live feed of the docking and hatch opening, before rising for the day, and it’s a lot of hurry up and wait, so I gave up and got out of bed. 😊
