SpaceX Starship Prototype Landing

#shorts This landing footage from an ill-fated SpaceX Starship prototype shows that landing a spacecraft is much more intricate than taking off.

Must congratulate the engineers who made this happen.

Imagine working on this thing and then actually see it land, the sense of achievement must be overwhelming

To put into perspective, that’s like a medium sized apartment building flipping over and landing safely.

Lift-offs used to be spectacular....until the advent of SpaceX with mind-blowing landings.

Remember kids this isn't just rocket science it's reusable rocket science.

The birds are like “The apocalypse is here “

The amount of aspects that have to go perfectly right for this thing to land safely is staggering.

It was a marvel to get the early astronauts to splash down in a certain area in the ocean and not flatten somebody’s house. THIS is amazing!

Most people don't realize how insane this is. It's unreal that they made this happen.

In every science fiction movie I watched as a kid, they landed tail first like this. Shows you that science fiction can indeed become science fact. 😊

Mankind has come so far this is absolutely amazing.

Never gets old.
Every time I watch this it puts a smile on my face.

[alyssaadvano]

Like an old 1950's sci fi movie. Amazing😊

I have no idea how I'm finding so many people that have no idea this thing is happening. It's like totally ignoring historical events happening while you are alive, we're lucky to be in this era & witness this stuff with our own eyes. SpaceX is the best space company out there, nobody comes close

[StanTheBrand]

That is so amazing and so cool. I grew up watching this type of stuff on sci-fi programs as a kid and here we are today! So awesome.

Imagine being a bird and seeing the god of all birds land in front of you.

[Entropydemic]

This is honestly one of the most incredible things I've EVER witnessed.

[kathleenlangenbacher]

I can’t wait to see it land between the Megazilla arms…That is going to be mind blowing!

Awesome engineering Team of Space X. Congrats.
