That Flap needs to be in a museum! A hero for the progress and longevity of mankind.

The potential for re-usability is a game-changer. Falcon has changed the landscape, and the next paradigm shift is only a few test flights away.

That hero fin guided the upper stage all the way back!

[DelliBurn]

The Fin that never gave up, just like the amazing engineers over at SpaceX. It needs to be placed in a museum somewhere.

it is so refreshing to see the engineers entertained by the errors. I hear joy in the discovery. What a great place to.work.

Wow, for once in my lifetime... The wall street journal didn't try to spin a story to attack Elon.
This was an amazing test! Go SpaceX and go Elon!

[Hyperious_in_the_air]

incredible, the hinge on that one flap got plasma cut by the reentry plasma and was still functional. I hope they pull that out of the water and save it

[Randomguy-wyxi]

Marvellous. SpaceX has achieved what Sergei Korolev dreamed of 60 years ago and more than it.

This should be what every engineering student must aspire for.

To a non aero space engineer you have no idea how historic this day is. SpaceX is redefining our civilization as we know it Thank you amazing team for this monumental pineering work on full rocket reusability

Kinda terrifying, that glowing fin is reminiscent of what Space Shuttle Columbia probably looked like.

[Lolopogie]

Wow. I never thought that I will read something like this on media. I expected them to right “Elons Rocket got destroyed after splashdown” 😂

The release of the hot-stage ring at 1:44 and the flap disintegration at 4:09 both remind me of that one scene in Interstellar. Just incredible.

[bartoszbaczynski]

We have waited 1year and 3 months for this moment😄

So many blast waves at the start of the launch

Congratulations to SpaceX!!!!
A massive success

[kuyt]

True joy of engineering.. goosebumps every single time. Congrats SpaceX

[CasualObserver-jxzh]

Congratulations Space X !! American ingenuity at its best.

[johnstewart]

The Moon and Mars is one step closer! It was a magnificent test flight, looking forward to launch #5

[jimmyconway]

Badass! The cheers from crowd and team were awesome!

5:55 water splash on the top right corner. Flapping amazing.
