SpaceX catches super-heavy rocket booster on return to Earth

SpaceX has successfully caught its super-heavy rocket booster from launch.

Impressive! SpaceX actually managed to parallel park a rocket. Most people can't do that with a mini van.

Keep in mind, SpaceX was founded in 2002, they're only 22 years old. From Grasshopper to this is just f**king INSANE engineering and dedication to Elon and his team, Bravo!!!

SpaceX is doing what people in the past imagined the future to be like

[bungfupanda]

Once again, SpaceX turns science fiction into engineering fact. Absolutely incredible!

[JOERANSTRAIGHT]

People don’t understand what this means there’s a ton of money thrown away with boosters lost to recover a booster is monumental !

[briansmith]

SpaceX is on another level than any other space company.

An historic event. That is some fancy bit of engineering that worked like a charm. Congratulations to all those involved in making it a success.

I grew up with Apollo. Seen all the space stuff since then. This was the most impressive feat yet. Well done.

Stuff like this is what money should be spent on, not wars between each other.

[phoschnizzle]

This is what can be done when people are hired based on what they can accomplish, and not on what they look like.

THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO FOLLOW THIS EXAMPLE, STOP THE WARS AND THE KILLING. THE WORLD NEEDS TO AIM FOR THE STARS AND NOT EACH OTHER. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Don't forget. Not just Elon. Team SpaceX. Well done guys.

[yetkinkaracal]

This can be the most ridiculously insane engineering accomplishment in history

[VanWinger]

Not gonna lie. I got chills. Goosebumps. Well done.

What a flex! SpaceX is like: "No no no we don't want it back just anywhere on the ground. No... We want it back on THE LAUNCH PAD and exactly where it was launched from, so we can shoot it up again right from there!". Absolute mad men

[gsmall]

How’s that FAA ? Was that safe enough for you? Pure talent on display from SpaceX and not government.

[RytSide]

I'm an electrician in Miami I need to go apply for SpaceX

[grettalemabouchou]

I can recall the capsule splashdowns of the 1960s. Seeing this is both thrilling and a Your grasp of telemetry is mind blowing. Way to go kids!!

[iiswiftfish]

more hype from a actual ROCKET CATCHING than any sports game or video game fan base ever lol

[lazyhomeowner]

they sent a skyscraper into space and caught it in one go!
