Man, 8 time and it still landed!? I remember when reusing a booster 2x was crazy!

[friendo]

Incredible! That will never get old to watch. Go SpaceX!

[jamesdickinson]

No matter how many times I see them stick a landing, each and everyone of them is just as amazing to witness.

[oChynaBoio]

Engineer casually announcing "M-VAC is chillin' ", just another routine launch

[sloma]

33:43 I think Tim starts to cry on liftoff. ;D

[sirsluginston]

Watching late and was trying to skip closer to the launch, ended up getting my mouse straight into the 't minus 1 minute'! Also, thanks for including the timestamps in stream replays!!

[Lilbebee]

I heard the whole part about ice chunks breaking off, but I’m wondering that was was at 43:38, seemed to be going in a completely different direction

[sqeric]

The reliability of successful landings of the Falcon booster is capitol to Starship's success. Think about it.

[borrico]

Awesome!
Thank you for putting video markers or chapters! Very helpful!

[Cydonius]

Tim : it might crash
Booster : Hold my hypergolic fluid

[CarpIXOYE]

F9 - lands bullseye from orbital verlocity in high winds on stormy seas: "only my 8th time"
New Shepard - laughing nervously while sneaking closer to the landing pad: "watch this! I'm hovering!"

[MrDogonjon]

Waves breaking on the landing barge? That thing was pitching and rolling and the wind chop was severe. Still put it right on target! They might be able to land super heavy back on the launch stand after all.

Another great coverage of the booster Tim. Looking forward to the next one 👍

[robertgutowski]

@staff you don't have to feel lonely, when you're here you are with thousands.

[airgliderz]

Awesome. Born leaning, successfully landed for a long time leaning, ended uncontrolled launch, then uncontrolled crash landing, ending leaning into a rapid uncontrolled disassembly.

[vicroc]

Hey, a SpaceX launch that actually included a proper terminal count. Nice.

(Actually, I liked this style much better because we heard more of the callouts in general - not a big fan of the ones where the PRO just talks over everything)

[Maky-voqs]

These launches never gets old. Well done SpaceX👍👍👍👍

[thehighwayman]

Cool! Also, the female narrator has a nice voice for this.

[donaldburkhard]

Why not able to record landing then replay after land. Or improve communication so don’t lose signal.

[pxwjuvr]

I saw that blue screen(of death) and my heart sank lol. Great job SpaceX, and thanks for the coverage Tim.
