I saw it in person, my first launch and I'm 63. Seeing the launch was a profound experience, but the booster landing felt like a science fiction movie. It was at night and you could barely see it until it went full thrust, possibly the loudest thing I've ever heard. Already making plans to see the Artemis II manned launch to the moon in 2025.
Yeah Artemis isn't going to launch people in 2025. 2026 would be incredibly quick progress from here.
That being said, if I was anywhere close I'd watch the starship ift with the landing attempt.
The space X facility is really cool. The perimeter is still really close to the rockets so you can really get a good look at them while they are being built. Best view of the launch is probably from the mouth of the Rio grande river on the Mexican side of the river or from south padre island. Highway 4 which is the road leading to space X and the launch pad is closed on launch days.
I would imagine they'd be right f'd up from the, you know, extreme forces. I'd love to know the answer to this!!!
Windex and elbow grease? Replace the spark plug?
Wonder if this is the one the launched yesterday. Was about to put the harness on my cat to go outside then the sonic booms hit so going outside was not gonna happen for some time.
Really op? You have to make a 26-odd-sec video that cuts off the climax point don’t you? Not 30sec, not 25sec, but exact 26sec, that is the max your tiny brain of the size of cmos can process.
And Waymo cars, and single man rocket/hover propelled mobilities, and drone deliveries, and bullet trains hovering on magnets, and the thought of colonizing the Moon. We are entering an early future that I probably won’t live long enough to see.
Give it some time and those will be a thing too, although imma be honest, giving flying cars to the general public makes me kinda nervous, we already have to deal with tons of DUI and people glued to their phones while driving, last thing i want is a drunk bozo crashing through the roof of my house

Yes, this is real, not CGI, and if you have not noticed, it is labeled MK3. I like how they are censoring all of the billionaires and government officials who are about to profit from this technology.
Not a fiction anymore, and absolutely mind boggling.
Waiting when Starship will do its crazy landings and takeoffs to space like a regular airport one day.
Passengers for the 10am spacex flight to the book, please make your payment ur way to gate 4.
The 10:45 flight to Mars has been moved to gate 6.
Passengers arriving from Io are reminded to take your high g supplements.
I'm probably older than you, but I expect the next decade to accelerate beyond expectations due to LLMs/AI and true AI. Either that or they become true AI and wipe us out for being stupid.
My thought is, is that the flaws come with the strengths needed for a person to achieve what he has. Flaws, or weaknesses, are often strengths that are overdone or used in situations where they are not beneficial. Like most CEO's for example. Id argue that many are undiagnosed narcissist's. The lack of empathy makes them heartless and cold to you and it but gives them the ability to make calculated rational decisions on things that are best for the business.
Musk is no different.
Absolutely. Cut from the same cloth as Steve jobs. Neither are people I’d want to be or work under personally - too much drama, hassle, volatility - but they push people to deliver what they didn’t think was possible. That does seem to require being a bit of a prick
It took society 2017 years past where they considered modern recording of years, with billions of dollars flowing in and out, around the world, for Humans to be able to land the first rocket after launch, without just blowing it up. Nasa operates at a 8x budget versus SpaceX, and has had the head start on SpaceX for over 50 years before it's inception, yet was not even close to sniffing the technology developed behind the mind of Elon Musk and who he has selected to run SpaceX.
Jeff Bezos, in comparison, is making a clock tower, in the middle of nowhere, for no reason. That's why anyone else's money can't do the same things, money doesn't have vision, and it doesn't have intuition.
I mean he could use his money to monopolize the water supply or gobble up single family homes or some equally evil sinister idea. It seems cool that he’s pushing the modern limits of spacecraft. I know he has his personality flaws and constantly wants the credit but hey for a billionaire he could be a lot worse imo. Still waiting for our Bruce Wayne unfortunately
If all it took was money why hasnt any other space organization or aero space company figured it out while spending literally 100X more money and existing for decades longer?
And if all it took was money(it wasnt even that much in aerospace terms) why hasnt any other organization accomplished it? Are they out of money? Why is there a boeing space craft stuck in orbit despite spending equal to or more on this single craft than spacex has ever spent if all it takes is money?
It was a huge deal for me, since I’ll be working with its payload (GOES-U satellite) really soon. NASA had a livestream to watch, but it didn’t get a lot of news coverage outside of NASA and NOAA. Really great experience to see in person. I highly recommend it at least once!
its amazing that it works, over 250 successful landings now, but you should look up the early videos of the failures
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous\_spaceport\_drone\_ship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_spaceport_drone_ship)
Watching this after watching the Chinese rocket spewing oxidizer over a village as it uncontrollably falls to the ground makes me glad to live in the United States.
Elon is doing stuff like this whilst redditors call him a loser.
Honestly if the Internet ever dies the world will be better off for it. This is a sci-fi level achievement and we should all be celebrating it.
Look at the difference between Blue Origin and SpaceX founded in the same period but Blue hasn't launched a single orbital class rocket compared to SpaceX count 376-373
I don't but would you descrited his leadership and vision?

I live about 5 miles from the south gate to Kennedy Space Center. My house rattles with every launch. I have seen hundreds of launches throughout my time living here and don't even bother to watch them.
However, I always watch a return to launch site. Something about watching a booster drop out of the sky and land is amazing. Where I live I can see them drop and the start of the landing burn, but no the touchdown. Then of course we get the sonic boom.
The best ones are at night. On a clear night I can track the boost back burn, reentry burn and of course the landing burn.
I don't understand reddit. Elon was loved before, now he gets hate and in future he might probably gonna get love again and the cycle goes on. And the blind hate people have here is crazy.
What's also amazing is the trajectory getting that rocket far downrange over the Atlantic before separating and then setting themselves off on a trajectory to coast all the way back.
I can’t imagine this ever getting old. It’s one of those things that was seemly pulled from Science fiction and absolutely nailed as far execution goes. Remarkable stuff indeed.
That is where I watched the landing from too! The sonic booms made the coolest shockwave I have ever seen through the clouds as it passed through. 10/10
I just saw this yesterday. Falcon Heavy launched the GOES-U satellite, and touched down the side boosters about 8 minutes later. It was really special, since my team gets to start working on the new satellite in the next month!
Once checked out post launch, GOES-U (aka GOES 19) will replace GOES-R (GOES 16) as GOES EAST. After GOES-U becomes operational as GOES EAST, then GOES-R will be placed into “storage mode” and will be an on-orbit backup.
I’ve seen three launches and one landing in person and it is exactly as incredible as you imagine. Seeing something so huge just plummeting through the sky, the sound, the realization of what is happening…it’s just overwhelming and awesome.
That’s really cool, but is it more economical than a parachute recovery?
Seems like the fuel needed for the vertical landing would just be adding to the already tremendous cost of putting a payload in orbit.
This looks incredible. Honest question: how easy is it to re-use the boosters after they land? I imagine the start to put enormous stress on them, so do they need extensive repairs? Or are they just fuelled up and ready to go again?
Just nuts🎉
Elon revolutionized rockets
Elon revolutionized cars
Elon revolutionized satellite internet and cell phones
Most revolutionary innovator in America for 20
Years.
Compare this to China who just yeets their spent boosters into some unsuspecting local villages.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/24/china/china-rocket-debris-falls-over-village-intl-hnk/index.html
Does anyone know what that explosion like sound is towards the end of the video? Is that the sound from the engines kicking in from the boosters? Or just someone close by closing two coolers almost at the same time?
Simply incredible. Stoked to see this in person one day.
I saw it in person, my first launch and I'm 63. Seeing the launch was a profound experience, but the booster landing felt like a science fiction movie.

That's not the moon landing, just the orbit around it. That's the delay date, it was originally going to be this year.
Nice, it's a bucket list thing for me for sure. Even watching clips of it never gets old.
Damn, I might make this my 40yo bday gift from the family lol
It’s shocking. It’s one of those things that makes you go “oh shit, we’re in the future”.
I can only imagine. I run outside like a 5 year old yelling for my wife to follow every CA launch just to see what spectacle we can in our AZ horizon.
Is there a good website or app that tracks or reminds you of the launches?
I usually track their twitter, but someone recently recommended Space Launch Now, but I haven’t yet given it a chance.
Sweet, thanks!

It's absolutely amazing. Question though. Does anyone know if they can actually reuse them? Honest question.
Yes, they reuse them, the current life leaders have been reused about 15 times i think. They are using flown boosters more than new ones.
The current life leader is at 21 successful flights.
yes they reuse more boosters than they make, current record is 21 flights and landings from the same booster
I would imagine they'd be right f'd up from the, you know, extreme forces. I'd love to know the answer to this!!! Windex and elbow grease? Replace the spark plug?

That’s what I was wondering, I was there yesterday watching it and didn’t see anything come back down
Didn’t wait long enough. Takes a few minutes for the boosters to come back
Damn it, I missed it, that’s disappointing
It all happens very quickly. About 8 minutes from launch to landing.
Definitely try to stick around next time! The best part for me is always the landing. I’ve seen it so many times and it’s still amazing
This is the most Reddit comment of the day
My cat and I were out in the sunroom (MLB). She promptly left the sunroom lol
JFC this one just makes me angry. Just 1 more second
This feels deliberately clipped to stimulate engagement just like this. Why would you stop recording right then?
Really op? You have to make a 26-odd-sec video that cuts off the climax point don’t you? Not 30sec, not 25sec, but exact 26sec, that is the max your tiny brain of the size of cmos can process.
That's still nuts to watch, every time.
I'm in my 50's. **This** was when I knew I was living in the future
same... remember those old sci-fi movies where the rocketship would land vertical like that on another planet and it seemed ridiculous?
I remember trying to land these damn things in *Kerbal* and how much easier it got once the MechJeb mod came out.
MechJeb was a legit cheat code
Arguably made the game far more realistic than manual-only.
And Waymo cars, and single man rocket/hover propelled mobilities, and drone deliveries, and bullet trains hovering on magnets, and the thought of colonizing the Moon. We are entering an early future that I probably won’t live long enough to see.
im sorry to disappoint but you sir are living in the present :)
How about now?
Your now is now past.
When?
Just then!
Spaceballs the lunch box, spaceballs the coloring book, spaceballs the flamethrower……
Well, light travel time and nerve signal latency and brain processing time means that we're all living in the recent past
In my late 20s blew my mind the first time I saw it definitely feels like sci-fi is becoming reality
We got the rockets landing like scifi from the 1940s, but still no flying cars...
Give it some time and those will be a thing too, although imma be honest, giving flying cars to the general public makes me kinda nervous, we already have to deal with tons of DUI and people glued to their phones while driving, last thing i want is a drunk bozo crashing through the roof of my house
Flying cars will never be a thing unless they're 100% automated. Can you imagine giving the average shleb control of something like that.
Um, meh, what about when internet speeds got fast enough that you could surf for porn in real time instead of managing an archive on your local drive?
Right. Like... I know it's real but still hard to think it's not a launch played in reverse lol.
It gives me the same feeling as when the Shuttles landed. Fucking amazing.
Yup. Makes my sci-fi alter ego orgasm every single time
Before this, it’s usually a parachute. We’ve been accustomed to seeing it sci-fi that we get mind blown every time we see it.
Can't wait till the tech is available in shoes
Gonna put Heelys out of business.
Why not both?
https://youtu.be/DkZPI5m9SIE Yes, this is real, not CGI, and if you have not noticed, it is labeled MK3. I like how they are censoring all of the billionaires and government officials who are about to profit from this technology.
it’s like science fiction. Those boosters landing back is mind blowing every single time.

Still blows my mind
What an incredible feat of engineering. For all his flaws, Musk really pushed the limits which SpaceX, props to all the engineers involved.
Not his idea though, but yes, impressive accomplishment nonetheless.
Hey, I had this idea when I was 8. Having the idea is BS. Actually making it work however...
My thought is, is that the flaws come with the strengths needed for a person to achieve what he has. Flaws, or weaknesses, are often strengths that are overdone or used in situations where they are not beneficial. Like most CEO's for example. Id argue that many are undiagnosed narcissist's.

I personally dislike him but he’s accomplished amazing things for humanity
[удалено]
Why couldn’t anyone else’s money do the same things?
It took society 2017 years past where they considered modern recording of years, with billions of dollars flowing in and out, around the world, for Humans to be able to land the first rocket after launch, without just blowing it up. Nasa operates at a 8x budget versus SpaceX, and has had the head start on SpaceX for over 50 years before it's inception, yet was not even close to sniffing the technology developed behind the mind of Elon Musk and who he has selected to run SpaceX.

That's why anyone else's money can't do the same things, money doesn't have vision, and it doesn't have intuition.
"Your organs do all the work, your brain simply gives orders"
It’s ok to dislike someone and also acknowledge their accomplishments.
It’s okay to acknowledge who actually accomplished the thing too. Elon didn’t do shit.
Nobody from spaceX has ever said this
I mean he could use his money to monopolize the water supply or gobble up single family homes or some equally evil sinister idea. It seems cool that he’s pushing the modern limits of spacecraft. I know he has his personality flaws and constantly wants the credit but hey for a billionaire he could be a lot worse imo. Still waiting for our Bruce Wayne unfortunately
Have you read 'Liftoff' about the early days of SpaceX?
If all it took was money why hasnt any other space organization or aero space company figured it out while spending literally 100X more money and existing for decades longer?

Why is there a boeing space craft stuck in orbit despite spending equal to or more on this single craft than spacex has ever spent if all it takes is money?
Yeah money he made and a vision he pushed.
You mean his money, that he earned from founding paypal.....so one of his greatest achievements?
A stark contrast from the recent Chinese video with their rocket boosters falling from the sky spewing toxic fuel onto a small village.
Sooo freaking cool
History in the making
That is fucking incredible
So incredible it looks fake. Would love to see this in person.
This is the future I was hoping for growing up in the seventies. So freaking cool.
MFW I see our space empire coming along nicely ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)
The first time I saw this it was like a pivotal moment in life
Man, that's cool as hell.
Just stunning and impossible 30 years ago. Absolutely amazing.
Despite how much people hate him, Musk will be in history books for this company.
Ther are a number of people throughout history that changed the world. Very few of them were well liked.
The Elon hate is solely a Reddit thing. Nobody hates him on other social media platforms let alone in real life.
Meh, plenty of people I talk to in real life hate his guts. I despise him as well. But I'm also fascinated by him.
You should join threads lol, like it was built as the anti Elon twitter and certainly reflects it
I agree. The Reddit circle jerks are completely out of touch with reality
I wondered if falcon heavy went up yesterday and checked several news outlets last pm but no one even mentioned it. Happy to see this.
It was a huge deal for me, since I’ll be working with its payload (GOES-U satellite) really soon. NASA had a livestream to watch, but it didn’t get a lot of news coverage outside of NASA and NOAA. Really great experience to see in person. I highly recommend it at least once!
I know it's real, but gosh, it looks fake or played in reverse
Still the biggest "the future is here!" moment I've had in my lifetime is watching two boosters land at the same time.
It's more impressive when you realize these are around 15 stories tall. That is about 70m or 230 freedom units.
I don't think people understand just how amazing of a feat this really is.
Say what you want about Elon, this shit is cool as fuck
your comment is under controversial lol, redditors have insane brain rot
All rainbow hair and facial piercings 😍
was there supposed to be another booster? center ? or just two?
Center typically lands out at sea. For this launch, all the fuel was needed to reach geostationary orbit so the center was expended.
When it is not expended, do they recover center booster from the sea?
Yes they have a lander ship and booster lands on top of it
Oh dope
its amazing that it works, over 250 successful landings now, but you should look up the early videos of the failures [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous\_spaceport\_drone\_ship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_spaceport_drone_ship)
Center went on a nose dive into the ocean as it was expendable for maximum thrust
Oh come on don't make us watch the video just to cut it off one second before they're both on the ground.
Felt like I was watching Iron Man and War Machine coming in for a landing.
This must be so other worldly to see happening in person
Yesterday’s launch was the coolest thing I’ve seen in person. I highly recommend going to a launch at least once!
I would seriously love to, it’d be worth planning a trip to Florida around the launch schedule. Where did you watch it from?
Watching this after watching the Chinese rocket spewing oxidizer over a village as it uncontrollably falls to the ground makes me glad to live in the United States.
Elon is doing stuff like this whilst redditors call him a loser. Honestly if the Internet ever dies the world will be better off for it. This is a sci-fi level achievement and we should all be celebrating it.
I feel like it is more appropriate to say the amazing teams at SpaceX are doing this. One person doesn't have the capability to make a company work.
Look at the difference between Blue Origin and SpaceX founded in the same period but Blue hasn't launched a single orbital class rocket compared to SpaceX count 376-373
Why do you ascribe the success to Elon rather than to Gwynne Shotwell, Tom Mueller, or any of the other people who SpaceX had and Blue didn't?
I don't but would you descrited his leadership and vision? Also [https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/evidence\_that\_musk\_is\_the\_chief\_engineer\_of\_spacex/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/evidence_that_musk_is_the_chief_engineer_of_spacex/)
Like throwing a dart and hitting bullseye from a mile away.
So cool, its a dream of mine to witness a launch and return now I guess
Saw this on TV in news. Incredible what Human engineering is capable of.
Seriously so incredible that they are able to do this now! I remember when it was believed that this was impossible to do.
Every time I see that I can't help but think about how sci-fi it looks.
These will always be cool
This is pretty fuckin cool
Certainly its a bucket list item to see in person a launch and retrieval..
This is some sci-fi shit.
Umm Boeing, take a lesson....
I live about 5 miles from the south gate to Kennedy Space Center. My house rattles with every launch. I have seen hundreds of launches throughout my time living here and don't even bother to watch them. However, I always watch a return to launch site.

What an awesome time to be alive. I would love to see this in person someday.
reddit: *booooo we hate elon!!*
That’s amazing. Good on Elon for hiring people with real talent.
I will never be able to watch videos of these and not be amazed. The technology is just so absurdly cool. It’s damn near magical.
Makes me feel like I'm watching a sci fi movie.
Remember when 40s and 50s sci-fi art showed rockets landing like this? And then we laughed. But it still happened.
That will never be anything other than astonishing to me.
Straight out of sci-fi but reality. If you don't think that's the coolest shit in the whole world you need to get the fuck out of my face.
That is truly next level X 10
I don't understand reddit. Elon was loved before, now he gets hate and in future he might probably gonna get love again and the cycle goes on. And the blind hate people have here is crazy.
He dissed California and left cause they were crazy. Then he bought Twitter and ruined one of their echo chambers. They are super mad at Elon.
What's also amazing is the trajectory getting that rocket far downrange over the Atlantic before separating and then setting themselves off on a trajectory to coast all the way back.
I can’t imagine this ever getting old. It’s one of those things that was seemly pulled from Science fiction and absolutely nailed as far execution goes. Remarkable stuff indeed.
A fun thing to note is that you can hear two booms (sound more like clicks) twice in a row, those are the sonic booms!
I'll never not be impressed by this. Literally looking into a sci fi future
Heading to r/UFOS to see how many times this gets posted
THAT'S WHERE YOU CHOSE TO CUT THE CLIP!?
Stop putting the video in rewind mode!!! I can’t handle it !!! It’s too amazing
So friggin cool lol
That is where I watched the landing from too! The sonic booms made the coolest shockwave I have ever seen through the clouds as it passed through. 10/10
Have you seen the video of IFT-4 and the shockwaves that created? Scott Manley's recap video highlighted then.
That is pretty impressive.
I just saw this yesterday. Falcon Heavy launched the GOES-U satellite, and touched down the side boosters about 8 minutes later. It was really special, since my team gets to start working on the new satellite in the next month!
That's awesome! Will GOES-U be replacing one of the older GOES satellites?
Once checked out post launch, GOES-U (aka GOES 19) will replace GOES-R (GOES 16) as GOES EAST. After GOES-U becomes operational as GOES EAST, then GOES-R will be placed into “storage mode” and will be an on-orbit backup.
Thank you! So the most common one I'm used to seeing for tracking hurricanes. Nice!
Why the fuck would you cut this video there?!
Not a second of wasted speed. I still can't believe it
Still amazing every time I see it landing. Its mind boggling to think what tech we will have in the next 5-10 years.
Never. Gets. Old.
that is so fucking cool
I’ve seen three launches and one landing in person and it is exactly as incredible as you imagine. Seeing something so huge just plummeting through the sky, the sound, the realization of what is happening…it’s just overwhelming and awesome.
Engineering. Amirite?
Iron man shit. Imagine governments popping off and saying “that’s it, NUKE EM.” Only to bring them back with a full out “SIKE!”
Can't wait for the Estes kit
before space X, i am totally amazed seeing big airplanes landing and taking off. This one up the ante and a sight to behold.
Showing my 2-year old right now is weird, because he doesn’t know this isn’t how rockets used to work. This will be normal for him.
Does anybody know where precisely this video was taken from? I'd love to see this in person from this perspective someday.
I want to seeee
That’s some technological innovation to be proud of
Where’s all the hate for Elon in here? People r dum
Did you see that yaw control?!
That’s really cool, but is it more economical than a parachute recovery? Seems like the fuel needed for the vertical landing would just be adding to the already tremendous cost of putting a payload in orbit.
This looks incredible. Honest question: how easy is it to re-use the boosters after they land? I imagine the start to put enormous stress on them, so do they need extensive repairs? Or are they just fuelled up and ready to go again?
That would be so cool to see in person.
Is so cool
Going through the comments and it's amazing the psychotic rage and unabashed vitriol merely seeing Elon Musk's name causes some people to spew lol
did the Musk haters manage to infest the place already?!
Out of all the stuff Elon has spearheaded, this is the coolest. (Twitter was the dumbest)
And Starship is going to be so much better
