I grew up in the 60's and 70's, during the "space race". As someone who has NEVER tired of seeing this, I just have to say that the "coolness factor" of SpaceX launches never ceases to be absolutely amazing!!! My hat's off to the crew and pilots of SpaceX!!!!

Now that's a true "commercial space flight"! Not like shooting some people up, shout "Whow, space!", and immediately fall down again ...

A last, something that makes you feel proud to be a human.

This is one of the best rocket launch ever seen
Landing of the booster was perfect

Space x just keep getting better every time they launch, the future is bright.

I saw this from Northern Virginia this morning at 5:40 as I was driving to work. Pretty cool! It looked like a small white light with a white glowing exhaust spreading out behind it. A large glowing V shape in the eastern sky.

Nice to see inside Dragon during launch. What a smooth ride!

[flyingwiggy]

That landing was just staggering. Amazing.

[chicomilgoncalves]

Como é bom ver a alegria de quem está do lado do bem.

[timbacchus]

[missinglink]

The engineers and technicians are really the heart and soul of SPACEX.. Congrats everyone you guys are amazing!!!

[mcroley]

Talented folks at SpaceX!! Congratulations

[ryen]

watching that distance go by at 1km/sec just 2 min and 30 sec after launch is mind boggling! these things really full send.

Looks like that the speed at MECO and the Apogee of the 1st booster was much higher than other SpaceX Launces. Also the speed at entry burn was thousands km/u more than normal. Has this anything to do with the higher orbit of the dragon? So a more vertical flight?

[raulcastaneta]

Very impressive!
Top company around the world. He lead us to the stars.

Those space suits look like something beekeepers or municipal workers sloshing through sewers would wear 😂
