    You'd think that ... except they've been very happy to show their failures after the fact.

    The first stage video was exceptional (up until landing).

    You really got a sense of it achieving apogee and the transition to decent.

    I hope never not to be impressed when they hit a bullseye on the drone ship. It’s freaking amazing.

    Iirc that would require another ship recording from a distance and they don't think it's worth it. The fact that we get live video at all with the force behind rocket engines is amazing.

    With 19k people watching the tank farm (nerdlecam) and 136k watching NSF's stream...

    That's a lot of wenhop watchers.

    Also.. maybe 1 hour warning.

    I was able to click the video as-linked above to get to the video on youtube. Could not navigate to it directly from youtube, though.

    Yeah they're unlisted and don't pop up.

    Also, fire appears to be out.

    Yeah, I relived the whole LEGO VIP Ulysses ‘reward’ all over...

    Corporations from around the world consistently letting me down.

    Kudos to SpaceX though. Spectacular flight and landing :rocket: :thumbsup:
