The flight was incredible, and the fact they maintained telemetry and video almost through the whole flight was probably just as incredible! The re-entry footage is the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen!

1:17 the 33 raptors is the most amazing thing ive seen in a good while aswell as the amazing plasma on re entry, hopefully IFT4 will get a splashdown

[Twitch_Fweebas]

The Mach diamonds though!! It’s an absolute amazing view

[PawelK_]

That was the most beautiful rocket flight I've ever seen. Well done SpaceX!

An absolutely wonderful thing to watch fly
Third time was almost the charm!
Next flight shall be it

Stunning, just stunning. As someone who grew up with Mercury, Gemini and then Apollo, the wait has seemed interminable. Man is destined for space, but maybe in my grandson’s time.

i actually got to see this one in person. thanks for streaming it NSF!!!

[CoffeeMonster]

B10 absolutely hammered it through re-entry, 4300 km/h at that altitude is just insane.

[MrKellymcilrath]

I do love the sound of a rocket ripping the atmosphere a new one in the morning.

Was at work and completely missed this, watching replays doesn't hit the same.😢

[furnacebay]

My mind is blown. This actually happened. Your coverage is a service to humanity and a very useful resource as I will have to watch this repeatedly to get it through my head this happened. Nuts.

[thunderjax]

that thing means business when those raptors ignite, what a sound!

[WhenTheMomentsGone]

I’m lost for words after that! I think I was holding my breath for half of it. Just absolutely incredible.
Roll on IFT4!

[bartkita]

Das's shot is the best! So long and well focused, beautiful! Amazing job of the whole team, thank you so much!

[Moosmannl]

That was amazing. I never was so excited about a YouTube Stream!

[leandrosouza]
