SpaceX nails triple booster landing - BBC News

Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon Heavy launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida carrying a satellite into orbit for Saudi Arabian company Arabsat.

As well as having its first commercial payload, it was also the first time the three lower boosters of the rocket returned to Earth successfully.

The rocket is part of a growing number of launch services at SpaceX, which includes the Crew Dragon that docked onto the International Space Station in March.

Unfortunately the core booster was lost during voyage to port.
Due to rough seas it fell overboard.

Can i order a fresh pizza from US to india through SpaceX?

Can't wait fast internet in my village

The enterprise intro is coming to life as we live and breath.

Sadly, the core got lost because of stormy seas :/

Other than the persistent issue of the drone ship live feed always getting knocked out at the critical moment, they seem to have this all dialed in now.

I'll never tire of watching the simultaneous booster landings. It's the coolest bit.

The rockets landing looks like an alien invader landing

I think people only associate SpaceX with Musk. There are some incredible people working alongside him too.

He's my inspiration of me becoming awsum surgoen

[liquidsnake]

It's still the most wild thing of our generation that they actually managed to pull this off, i'll never forget when everyone said it was impossible, fools STILL think it's CGI because they STILL cannot accept that this is actually possible even though SpaceX does this routinely nowadays

[jamessharp]

He's gonna change the world in ways we can't even begin to imagine

[Unit-epeg]

I never get tired seeing that. So cool.

[gavinfoley]

The Elon goes from strength to strength

[sirjimmysavileo.b.e]

Elon Musk wants Sir Jimmy's remains to be sent in space and towards the sun, how dare he 'Fix It'!

[muhammadumer]

I really want to study how boosters managed to land that safely. Unbelievable

[inquisitivdave]

I was expecting to see the landing of the first stage on the droneship. Great title...

[pawank]

I'm so glad Elon Musk happened. In an age when governments are caught up with politics and cheap power games, humanity relies on trailblazers like Elon to propel forward.
Not to mention, he ensures that spacex landings are worth a spectacle to attract as much PR as possible. This is one way to garner public attention and even funding.

[KlLLERROBOT]

I watched it live. Anyone else watch it live?

[siddz]

That's a brilliant engineering marvel.... Hats off to SpaceX team

[MegumiHayashida]

I like how mankind is achieving more and more technical improvements lately. This is the right direction everyone. All our resources, knowledge including money should be used for one thing only: *PROGRESS.* Nano tech, Quantum physics, Space exploration, Education, the Environment, here are our main challenges. Imagine where we'll be 20 years from now or if we start investing in the right things instead of funding senseless wars. Just imagine how much our society, each one of us can achieve as creative individuals if leaders weren't so corrupted and selfish... This gives me hope.
