This won't ever stop being cool to watch.

I remember when this idea was considered impossible and now we're almost desensitized to it it's so common

[ryanwaege]

Heavy's double booster landings are my favorite fireworks display.

Not just visually gorgeous, but gorgeous to see (appreciate) ALL the physics involved as well as watching the final choreographed landing sequence. Beautiful.

[StevenIngram]

I've really enjoyed watching the evolution of these boosters. I mean, they've gotten so good at sticking the landing... it looks like they're parking. :D

[JKhill]

My first launch I’ve ever seen in person. The sonic booms were incredible, and it was so bright. It doesn’t capture that on camera.

[keithmorgan]

Works for me every time. When you're born in the 50s you see every thing from Gargarin to this. Wonderful

[MGAFFY]

It's seriously incredible and absolutely beautiful to watch

[TheBunzinator]

Goddamit Scott!! You tricked me into watching a SHORT. I now feel filthy.

[ericfielding]

Not surprising that the best video takes some time to be released. People want real-time video but I am willing to wait for a few days for the best stuff.

[Russo-Delenda-Est]

I remember watching this for the first time, and I literally teared up, it will never NOT move me. This is some straight up Flash Gordon scifi bullsh!t, and it's beautiful. Never thought I'd see the day when we could land a rocket.

Imagine when we get 2 simultaneous starship launches and they film each other. That would be the greatest footage in hystory

[matthewhelsley]

Wow, not just the angle but thanks to the skilled camera operator and/or editor for incredible tracking!

Thanks Scott for putting up this great footage!

[deusexaethera]

As someone who was born back when rockets were disposable, seeing rockets parallel-park after a hard day's work will never get boring.

Any word on Starship lately?

[anthonyprice]

Imagine when the start catching the starship booster. It’ll be incredible

[Tailspin]

The degree of control to bring the booster down from very high speeds and intercept the ground at an extremely low speed is the most impressive thing for me. Very accurate thrust control and ultra fast response must be needed.

[chrisf]

I had no idea it was transonic just ten seconds from landing. That is insane!

[jeffstablein]

Everybody in the entire world, man, woman, and child needs to see one of those things falling back through the clouds, and then that burner lights off and it slows down and then lands. It’s amazing. It’s one of the most amazing things you’ve ever seen in your life, that rocket, right there is the beginning of the new chapter in humankind and our exploration of the cosmos.

If I stand in the middle of the street in front of my house, I can see it come down perfectly in the middle of what looks like just at the end of the road. I've lived on the space coast my entire life and I will NEVER get sick of the entire house rumbling and the windows shaking and running outside to catch it. Absolutely incredible
