That was badass how the rocket engine was able to land itself.

Look up the falcon heavy landing....3 of them, 2 at the same time in Florida, one out on a drone ship in the Atlantic:-).

That's been a huge milestone for space X

Way cheaper to have reusable boosters.

Plus it'll be super badass to have the fully intact booster from this mission to be displayed

I forgot how fun space exploration is. My 18mo watched about a half hour's worth of shuttle and rocket launches and is yelling "go rocket!"

My almost two year old was the same way.

Watching a space launch through his eyes was special.

It was kinda funny realizing how much I took for granted watching space travel/launches. Trying to explain the significance to a 12, 10 & 7 y/o was interesting. I certainly went down some rabbit holes online and really rediscovered my childhood passion of space and exploration. I was checking out the possibilities of reinstating the Young Astronauts Program at my school (College Hills) with its reinvigorated connection through STEM curriculums. Almost dug out my old Space Camp stuff!

I mentioned this somewhere else too, but a really cool thing about space program stuff is the type of people it attracts.

Barnes wouldnt even try to lie about having a life like this guys because no one would believe it:

Enlisted Navy out of HS, SEAL team 3, silver star, bronze star, went to college, got into Harvard Medical School then decided that wasnt enough of a bad ass life so now he's an astronaut.

Exactly why the nerds have been screaming about it from the rooftops! :-)

So much is in the pipeline, this really could be the first step to realizing the dream of a post apollo, sustained flight world.

I know some of y'all got really interested in the booster landing, here it is coming back in to port!


If you ever get a chance, listen to one of these with the radio traffic coming back in (when they recovered the demo 1 capsule was especially memorable). I have heard some thick and colorful accents in my time, but listening to these guys talking about a space capsule in some mix of floridian/cajun/drawl is hilarious...

What about that female astronaut that wore adult diapers on road trips? No shout out for her?

Do they have any videos of how they get the hold down under the rocket stage before transporting the drone ship back in?
