I love how excited they all got when waiting to see if it was still standing through the smoke

[Westytherd]

Almost a year later I still come back to watch this Launch/Landing every few weeks. It really was groundbreaking! It's crazy how much Starbase has changed since too

[giuliodondi]

History was made right here. Thank you Nasa Spaceflight, see you soon SN16!

[kworkshop]

Words can't express how incredible this achievement is. It's insane how far SpaceX has come with Starship. Exactly one year ago, SN4 was doing a preburner test, and now look at where they are. Unbelievably inspiring, and everyone who worked on making this successful is awesome!

I ended up going to bed & missed this magnificent landing! Well done SpaceX.

[Vigilante-cuth]

RIP SN15 Jolly good show. Just had to come back and watch it fly one more time. #SliceN15

Spacex is awesome, but you know who else is awesome? The nsf team! They provided us with live coverage for almost 12 hours. I can’t even talk for an hour without getting tired. Keep it up NSF!

[woofcaptain]

It really puts it into perspective when you realize those flames after landing are legit 3 stories high

[CandynoseTwinskins]

I can't believe I watched all 11 hours of livestream today, but it was totally worth it!

[thetablecraft]

There reaction to both camera on the wing and landing were the most memorable parts

[djredrover]

RIP baby. You did alright kiddo, you did good!

[Diptonil_Mukherjee]

In India, the launch time would coincide with our time in the deep night. Opened YouTube in the morning, and saw the mighty structure standing covering my whole phone screen.

The coverage was simply amazing Thank You NSF and Congratulations SpaceX in a successful flight of SN15

[iwantc]

For SpaceX, nominal = amazing. Thank you SpaceX for your astonishing achievements!

I love it when Chris G. is co-hosting because I learn so many fascinating, in-depth things. The amount of knowledge jammed into his head is just impressive.

Thank you to Chris G. and the rest of the NSF crew for the amazing stream and stellar coverage of the Starship program. Never change!

Super crazy, watched the whole stream and loved every second of it

[DBenz]

I love the Flap-cam, it looks like footage from The Expanse.

[ecohen]

I was with you live the whole time. Thanks for bringing us this wonderful video stream and commentary. Can't wait for SN16!

Wow. 1 year later and still brings me to tears! Go spacex, go Starship!
