Those two landing at the same time is just the most sci-fi thing humanity has ever accomplished.

The falcon heavy test was one of the most exciting things I've ever seen in my life

SpaceX saving billions of dollars in this way....such a great moment in history of science!

[sikachuhai]

Thats biggest bottle flip in the world.

That double landing gives me chills everytime I watch it. SPECTACULAR!!!

[dansbrown]

It doesn't seem to matter how many times I see these rockets landing safely, it always finds me smiling. Way to go space X.

As complex and spectacular as the lift off of a rocket is, we’ve been seeing it since the 50’s maybe before. But this? This is like watching a sci-fi movie. That landing right in the middle of an X on a platform in the middle of a rough sea... That double landing... wow!!

[snowboard]

The double landing gives me chills every time. As someone who was around during the tail end of the Shuttle era, I am astounded at how far we have come and how great the future looks!

[Shuriver]

"And the falcons have landed!"

That line will stick for centuries

Way to go SpaceX, Every time I see this it just blows me away. I'm 68 years old now, and as a young child back in the day my dad worked at Holliman Air Force Base and was a leading supervisor on the sled out there testing the first rocket fuels, high-speed pumps, he actually designed and held a patent on the first refueling suit to refuel the rocket sled Because of the hazards they encountered. On many occasions he would take me as a young child to watch them shooting the rocket sled down a 5 mile track. It was absolutely mind blowing, He would always tell me to look way down there instead of looking directly at the rocket sled itself, it was so fast you would never see it going. This was during the Mercury and Gemini Rocket programs, I still remember sitting in the living room with my dad and family watching the Apollo program & the first moon landing. Unfortunately, breathing in rocket fuel fumes while working on the pad During those beginning days of design work, gave my dad a cancer That ended his life way too short. But every time I see SpaceX, And hear the roars from all the young and marvelous technicians it gives me chills To know how they also feel that they're successfulness is paving the way for more great adventures in space. Godspeed to all the hard work and for your enduring commitments on every level that it takes to reach success. Wish my dad was around to hear all you guys cheering, and of course to see the amazing un-thought of accomplishments Of actually returning the boosters back to the launch pad....!

NASA: Vertical landing, you have been watching too many sci fi films, Space Ex: Hold you know lol

[armantorus]

like others, it makes me cry to see those two boosters land.. i can't explain why. perhaps it's a glimpse of hope for humanity

[RonWylie-gklc]

That takes your breath away, old Sci Fi fans like me are seeing stuff we used to dream about

[hashg]

Next olympic sport will be "Synchronized Landing" to classical music

[bamboosingularity]

I can't even land a pencil vertically on my desk, how the heck did they do it!!! AMAZING!

[Tintamar]

Watching those 2 rockets land next to each other at the same time makes me cry for some reason. Amazing.

[UwU-lodv]

This is the kind of thing that makes America great. Not Presidents or politicians, but our scientists and technological researchers, including many immigrants who've worked hard. Let's focus on the important things like science and research, and spend less time fighting over political ad-hominem spats.

[ShiroVK]

I watched it live ive watch it hundreds of times and i still tear up while the 2 boosters land at the same time.

[blakecopyright]

This brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Science will truly take us to heaven.

[sigridschuster]

never fails to give me the chills. and hearing all those people cheering madly makes it even better! seeing that all of the hard work paid off must be an incredible feeling!
