Колоссальный успех Falcon,
что-то наши спецы помалкивают и смотрят без восторгов
А ведь это колоссальная экономия более 75-85% всех затрат на
строительство и доводку
всего запуска космического аппарата Falcon
Видно сама ступень с собой носит мачты крепления для приземления,
как они не сгорают во время пуска и приземления?
Возможно скоро станет известно сколько груза забросил аппарат и сколько вернулось -
It's so unreal that I'm willing to believe that it's fake. Damn!

Awesome!!

Land it... Roger that. Ingaging re-wind

how does the rocket re-enter earth atmosphere without burning up. ? the shuttle has heat tiles and has to enter at correct angle. . america is big enough to launch rocket on one coast and still land on usa soil. .? im not believing the hype at the minute

China, Russia and Japan;s lower jaw has just landed on the floor. :-)

The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup in a deli. But SpaceX stuck the landing!

Oh one other question/comment, How much delta-V is sacrificed in propellant not used for payload orbital insertion? Aerodynamic drag is your biggest friend here I bet.

Awesome, congrats team and Joe! Never seen this on TV just saw it by chance Sun. eve on YouTube. A 1st in aerospace history, wonder how this will lower launch costs after everything is amortized? Regardless, a herculean effort, truly awesome!Ken.

Liars.

At 17 seconds, something flies along the rocket nozzle and off the back end. Frozen condensation?

Please!
Someone would explain it why it goes as a dart in slow motion?
For a dilettant, vertical descending would be the only choice.
... it almost makes a sommersault and a piruette, touches down and bows to the public... sorry, i don't get it -
I so wish there was a video of Elon's reaction watching this...

SpaceX is the future

Today in history. Finally... It makes it :-)
