By far the greatest rocket of its size ever created!

That was a fast turn around. Bravo SpaceX we need SpaceX even more. Keep reaching for the stars.

Nice to have you back spacex . It’s always a thrill to watch your launches 🚀

[beakytwitch]

Pinpoint landing. And to think that propulsively landings rockets are now routine !

[deltonlomatai]

Like clock work. Good to see Falcon back at work.

Amazing technology SpaceX has developed with an unparalleled record record of success. This is a very technical thing to do and at time hardware and systems are bound to fail.

[redpillrobo]

Got to say speceX has great Engineers. Congrats to the whole team.

Two weeks ago SpaceX suffered it's first Falcon failure in many years and here they're launching again having figured out what caused the anomaly and fixed it, if this happen to boeing it would be a year at the very minimum before the next launch

Never bet against Elon's companies

I happened to be in the area. firs thing I seen in real life

Did the second stage operate nominally all the way to spacecraft deployment? That is the key question.

[NJTDover]

And Boing's engineers still trying to figure out why Starliner sucks 😮

[ivpfoqq]

IS IT NOT AN OPTION TO PROTECT STAGE 0 WITH THE SAME TILES AND/OR ABLATIVE MATERIAL AS STARSHIP, RATHER THAN CONSTANT, LENGTHY, REPAIRS?

Back to business as usual. Just walk in the park.

[SlipKnotRicky]

So what was the problem with the last one and what did they do to fix the problem?

[muhammadishmamabdullah]

The problem in the last flight was probably due to faulty hardware I think

[husse]

¿When did this happened? I thought launches were banned for a while.

[AgentX]

No video of Starlink satellite deployment!☹️

[billmarshall]

Hmm, more runs to space to drop off space garbage, but screw the 2 astronauts stuck in space.. lol. Priorities

The angle of escapebis simalar to the way into the heaven. Specific angle and a turn to get into the heaven. Hust like leaving the planet. Layers of realms above as below . Think about it El... 🇺🇸🌎😇
