SpaceX Crew-5 mission launches to space station, booster nails landing

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched a Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Nicole Mann, JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 5, 2022. See highlights of the launch and booster landing here.

We shouldn’t take it for granted just how difficult and awesome it is to have a self landing booster it’s just awesome to see every time

I was 9 years old when I watched every second of the first Apollo moon landing. Thanks to spaceX I am just as fascinated all over again.

Amazing every single time. Thank you SpaceX

[recifebra]

SpaceX is simply killing it!! They have perfected this and it is NOT at all easy.

[lnr]

It's incredible every time. Awesome job

[mariusbehr]

lmao that "Fuck yeah!" in the background was gold

[oliverdots]

Every landing of a booster makes my brain melt.

[NakedMuso]

Yayyy, Thunderbird 1 does it again. Bloody amazing stuff 👏👏

SpaceX makes it look so easy. NASA makes it look so hard.

When I saw that, I actually looked out the window and imagined how humans millions of years ago would react.

Where's the outside angle camera mounted to and located at?

[backbasics]

About 10 meters off center. Can Starship be off by that much?

Can we have Space X organise UK Motorway Warning Signs Control, The Railways, Buses, Local Authority Deployment and last but not least Road Repairs. The UK would benefit immensely and all those who got sacked in the process can sweep the roads as a thank you gesture. Brilliant.

@1:00 of the video when it changes angle in the rocket booster I was that possible to catch both angles of the curvature was really going on here?

I grew up watching the shuttle launchs on NASA TV, up to cancellation of the shuttle. Piss poor design, but it was government funded to create jobs. It's just a really funny design, *let's send a plane... to space... with an effing heavy stone shell... for a few decades* *... It'll make jobs at the same time.*

NOW?!? Look at SpaceX and how graceful it tosses a 5 crew capsule to catch up to the ISS. They are also able to give it another go in just a few days time! I better get my boots on and get going.

Theres always a cut scene on landing. Im not crazy

[gower]

Just once could SpaceX launch without the soundtrack of a-holes whooping and cheering. FFS.

Ja genau selten so gelacht 😅😅😅wer das glaubt.. Bitte

[billygribble]

It looks fake because it has to...lol. pathetic
