Awesome video and great equipment. A family friend, who lives in South Carolina, worked on the supercomputer that This very flight transported to ISS. They were invited to Kennedy to watch launch and had a blast.

The sonic booms when breaking the barrier downwards are badass beautiful

At first when the booster is landing it looks to be going very fast, while just a few hundred feet off the ground. But then it manages to slow down all the way for a smooth landing! This camera view is amazing!

I feel so sorry for your work being discredited... "But muh CGI"... Awesome video, appreciate your effort providing this awesome high quality footage.

Awesome view. Love the sonic booms and the reactions of they guys on the ground running the equipment. Yes, everyone  agrees...that was cool!

You did an incredible job filming that. Congratulations and thank you.

Thank you for this amazing footage! I had never realized that the first stage actually climbs during the boostback burn before heading back down. It was interesting running the second half at 2x speed and watch the movement of the Meade as it followed stage 1. Looking forward to future videos like this from you!

It is official: YOU are The MAN!!! Fabulous imagery

Great shots of a really great technological work. I saw it live on YT, but it's also nice to see it from different points of view.

That S1 rocket engine has to go through 4 ignition and reignition cycles on the same flight w/o human intervention, pretty amazing.

[theunvarnishedtruth]

Great Video AL! That Teletrak software tracks really well.

[JazzEdan]

My God that was glorious. Thank you for the hard work.

[maisiebellgb]

Amazing job with the tracking, really impressive!

[davidbertsch]

Thanks! That was a fantastic view! Great to see all the maneuvering thrusters and the turn and burn.

[placydoplacek]

Thank You for making video which I always wanted to see.

[Lion_McLionhead]

That's the 1st time anyone has seen the landing burn from start to finish & how it really is a suicide burn. Would consider using video crop mode on magic lantern to get even closer.

[modeldaughters]

Your capture of this was remarkable, great job man! 👍

[slartybarfastb]

This is probably the best view I've seen of the boostback sequence unbroken and with the perfect 'right back at ya' frame of reference. Absolutely stunning! I was wondering what the telescope looked like and it's rate of travel during the RTLS and presto! You included a gopro showing precisely what I had just been pondering about. You deserve to make a few bucks from these videos and I hope my views will help. They will be often and repeated from now on.
