Congratulations Space X extremely impressive stuff, it's like watching a sci fi movie. Even watching it seemed impossible.

[dmmperx]

That is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. Congratulations to the whole SpaceX team.

I'm 74, and my eyes are all watery because my father worked on the first Atlas/Mercury manned rockets from 1960-65 and he passed away in 2015... I wish he could have seen this milestone... he would have been amazed at what he helped start, along with the thousands that followed him.

Everyone who engineered, turned a wrench, or pushed a broom in support of this project- you all have my gratitude.

This just changed the entire space flight economy. A new era has begun! Congrats SpaceX team.

Wish more people understood how BIG this event is!
Fast progress. Congrats to the Space X teams!

50 year old from the UK and I had tears of joy streaming down my face as it hovered between the chopsticks
Absolutely incredible time to be alive

[VeronicaZDunbar]

43.5 miles is how far I live from Starbase and by god, you can hear and feel this rocket take flight.

This just proves once again the magnitude of excellence in the field of engineering that SpaceX has brought to the world! I'm so proud to be alive while this is going on!

[Tyani-szcg]

I'm not crying... You're crying.... This is next level. Congratulations team.

[Slibaw-mp]

we are lucky to be alive in a remarkable era. from science fiction to science fact.
One the most incredible things we will ever see... CONGRATULATIONS...

That booster catch is the most amazing thing that’s happened since we went to the moon

[dzcmcoke]

im from the Philippines and this makes me proud as part of humanity's ingenuity and engineering marvel

[JenniferHarrisre]

I recall the thrill of the 1960s. This day was made possible by the pioneering efforts of those engineers, astronauts, all of the employees, and even the animals. Bravo to them, and well done, SpaceX. You created history.

[WyndhamPGP]

Mind blowing!!! History being made. Privileged to be a witness. SpaceX, you rock!!!

[Gingerbread]

I was literally speechless when I saw it so close to the tower, then I flipped over my table

[markstraatman]

This is nothing short of the most delicate, elegant and softest landing of 275.000 kg of steel. This might as well be footage of an Unreal Engine 5 clip, but instead this is a real unreal engine making it back to Earth. SpaceX keeps blowing my mind with all the feats they have been able to pull off in all its years. Congratulations on this first in history event

[malcolmdavidson]

I'm an engineer and that's one of the greatest feats of engineering I've ever seen, quite remarkable. What a huge collaborative effort by all, from senior management right down to the technicians and all in between. well done!

[michaelstone]

Congrats to Space X and all involved in this effort !!! 👏👏👏👏

I live in a 14 story building in NYC and Space X just caught a 22 story rocket that launched to the edge of space, I've loved all things space since the Space Shuttle but at 38 years old the things we're seeing this company achieve is mind blowing.
