Humans can do cool things sometimes.

[Tesseract]

look at the contours on those engines, that is modern mastery of math and engineering

 

[Rentahamster]

Bob and Doug make me feel like I've failed at life.

Don't worry, soon space travel can be accessible to all of us, once we can refine the process even more and deploy it at scale cheaply.

Humans can do cool things sometimes.

Just when I was starting to lose hope.

 

[Trilobit]

I read news about the launch the same minute it was going to launch so I was like "start youtube start youtube start youtube".

Got to see it, very cool! Glad everything worked perfectly!

 

[The Rain King]

That booster landing will never not be cool.

 

[Despera]

[mortal]

That never gets old.

 

[Pumpkin Seeds]

OF COURSE I STILL LOVE YOU has lost signal

yah that's my life

 

[Tesseract]

np, just landed a fugging rocket on a slushy barge

 

[newtypepilot]

lol the camera cut out during the actual landing of the booster

 

[thief183]

that landing was.... mmmm... signal sopped right the second of the main moment..

At least I was waiting for that ((

 

[belmarduk]

man
usually you can see these launches from orlando but too many clouds today

 

[Tesseract]

free falling in style

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Falcon 9 why u so sexy.

 

[MadAnon]

I guess that landing engine fucks up the satellite signal.

 

[Rentahamster]

lol the camera cut out during the actual landing of the booster

lol yeah. The force of the landing probably messed with the camera. It'll be conspiracy fuel for sure though haha

 

[Liberty4all]

This is epic

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Yeah... They did it...

(Imagine the day the Starship launches the first time)

 

[Sub_Level]

 

[Mihos]

Wait... the earth is round?

 

[Trilobit]

So what's the monetary value of that rocket that just landed on the ship? It must be a very economically good thing to be able to salvage it.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Wait... the earth is round?

Yes, that disk is round..

Weilthein told me that..

 

[Tesseract]

Wait... the earth is round?
