Coolest thing i've seen live in a while

It looked so weird, you bet them moon tin hat people will be pointing at it.

It really looked like someone threw it through after effects for a meme.

 

[Aarbron]

Just watched the replay. Congrats SpaceX and America what a massive leap in capabilities they are demonstrating now.

 

[mortal]

NIIIICE!!

 

[jshackles]

Brilliant!

 

[Ionian]

Had never even heard about this before, well that's my reading material for tonight!

Quick video of it, ain't in the OP.

 

[SinDelta]

This is awesome to see.

I think SpaceX has brought about the biggest revolution in spaceflight since the Saturn V and the space race ended.

• Reusable rockets
• Precision landings of said rockets

Possibilities are endless.

They are on their way to becoming the real life Astro Corp from Ben Bova's Grand Tour series.

2020 is SO fucked up in the best and worse possible ways.
I fucking love it!
One day: looting, riots, fires, explosions in the middle east...
Also same day: Just launching silos into space.

100%. The fact that Blue Origin can’t even make it to Low Earth Orbit despite all of its time and billions in funding also puts SpaceX’s and Elon’s accomplishments in perspective.

They land these things like parking a car. I'm in awe.

[EviLore]

Hell yeah.

 

[GodParticle]

That's so wild and absurd looking. Looks like my can of weedeater fuel lol

 

[Stiflers Mom]

WOOOHOOOOO!
What an amazing news to wake up to...

Sky is the limit...

 

[Newly Vacant]

I envy future generations that get to explore space and travel between planets. Seeing the Space X launch and this “hop” really give me hope for the next stage of civilization.

 

[RoboEight]

Pretty amazing stuff, all these streams and tests Nasa and Space X have been doing is really incredible. I could watch this stuff all day, the amount of engineering that goes into these is so very impressive.

 

[Greedings]

The videos are insanely cool, but what's the application for this? Is it part of an iterative process or is the hop the final aim?

 

[Belgorim]

Love it, was a bit late so unfortunately had to sleep through it.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Is it part of an iterative process or is the hop the final aim?

Off course.
This will be the new transportation method to get you from your couch to the next Walmart.

 

[Punished Miku]

I missed this whole thing. What a cool thread!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

they got that thing to move fairly easy. the storm knocked me of the internet for hours but I like the replays
