The Falcon Heavy's Landing Looks Like a Piece of Science Fiction Brought to Life

This footage displays the Falcon Heavy Boosters making their landing last month. First clip by @stuck4ger, Second clip by @mseeley20

All three Falcon Heavy first-stage boosters (which are modified versions of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket) are capable of making vertical touchdowns shortly after liftoff, with the central core stage usually trying its luck on a SpaceX drone ship on the ocean.

I can only imagine the hardwork of those brilliant brains behind this

[VENOMFPV]

That noise is the coolest thing ever. It gives me chills

[imsavor]

Imagine arriving on another planet like this. That would be so badass

[billb]

I'm 70 and watching these stages return is amazing, every time.

[atch]

This is the coolest looking thing humanity has made in a while

[Thedreaminthemyst]

The moment when rocket boosts up to break the free fall and seeing it slow down mid air is so bad ass.

[the_hateful_n]

Amazing. Most people cant even park their cars with this kind of accuracy.

[davidschliebe]

Take offs and landings never get old to watch.

Fun fact: That’s the exact same way the lighthouse arrived there.

[DrDiarrhea]

You know we're going in the right direction when we tune in to watch the landing more then the takeoff

[NiNjAcAt]

No matter how many times I watch this it still looks like magic. It's crazy what a bunch of brilliant people can achieve when they work together.

I love when there is heavy cloud cover and they punch a hole in the clouds and come thru super cool looking.

[tonybahama]

Been into rocketry for 55 of my 62 years, and am so happy to have lived this long to see these. Dedicated my career to aerospace and this is simply the coolest.

[zibbitybibbitybop]

Landing a rocket one time is impressive. What's truly astounding is doing it so many times that it becomes commonplace like this, so much so that we begin to take it for granted.

[lp]

The fact they are both landing at the same time makes it even more insanely amazing

[glaucionazario]

This is so hypnotic, don’t know how many times I’ve replayed

[ismailnyeyusof]

It’s awesome how they come down so fast and then suddenly slow down and land safely!

[Crazygamer-fjuj]

The bugs when a space craft is landing THE WINDS

[cont]

I have not seen so much impressively controlled thrust in one spot since my honeymoon

Shoutout to grasshopper for being the cameraman, he knew the cameraman never dies.
