Super proud of my son who works his a55 off at SpaceX. Love you with all my heart little buddy!❤

[mukamuka]

To catch a rocket, you must be able to land it accuracy on target first and currently no one can even do that landing. This is how far ahead SpaceX is from the other

[harrychu]

So much cutting edge technology being developed by SpaceX, Tesla, and Nurolink.

[keiyanrockspace]

Man who catch booster with chopsticks accomplish anything.

[kendobos]

Historical achievement. Not much great coverage from MSM. Such tremendous collaboration among very sharp minds, takes phenomenal management skills.

Imagine that Heavy Booster alone is More then 20 story building!!❤❤

[erolgenlik]

Congratulations to everyone who works there....❤

Tried to explain this to my 94 year old grandpa and he wouldn't believe me until I show it to him. Had to explain to him that that thing was 23 stories tall. He witnessed so many historic events through the 20th and 21st century, WW2, Cold war, the entire 70 years reign of Queen Elisabeth II, Moon landing, all the NASA missions, the birth internet and of AI, and now this.

This brought me back to watching the Apollo at the TV dept in Sears with 30 TVs tuned in and 50 people cheering. I yelled and screamed with tears today and am happy to be alive to see this! I’m proud to be an American again!

My brother is one of the lead engineers that designed it !!!

[donjones]

Good straightforward coverage of what an achievement this is. Thank you.

[johnmartint]

Thank you Elon Musk, because he has done better things than the whole US current administration and EU administration together.

[thomasmalone]

Elon is Ironman, he just hasn't finished his suit yet. Thank god he's on our side.

[srahm]

Catching a 24 storey building with chop sticks, on their first attempt, is pretty amazing 😅

[tomp]

Glad I'm still around seeing incredible stuff like this. It's just fascinating

[JR-krlv]

That's so huge and great. What a smart guy and surrounds himself with the smartest brightest people around him. Soon he'll be landed on places we haven't been yet and moves much faster than Nasa does, this guy must be the smartest guy in our times with putting all the ones before him together into one and his name is called Elon Musk

[dianawasserman]

Elon Musk is the smartest man in the whole wide world. No other like him.

[otearoa]

Elon and the SpaceX Team deserve the Nobel Peace prize for recycling spaceship booster's, pulling off a first in history event since spaceship flight began.

[wildfoodietours]

Amazing world we live in all thanks to Elon Musk. To the skies and beyond we go!

[dalenelson]

That booster falling at thousans of miles per hour anb slowing down enough to be caught amazing
