The booster catch was insane!

Muskyness aside; it is pretty impressive to watch, almost looks like the footage has been reversed.
Audio is really annoying.
100lol, how is the audio annoying? Those are literally the engineers who worked on this, one of the most difficult engineering problems in human history, having nailed it on their first try.
If you want pure rocket audio, look into cosmic perspective after a few weeks.
23Musk just owns the company, which sucks. There are clearly a lot of very talented people there who do actually work while Musk is in his K-hole.
16Love the game, hate the player.
7Well no dispite musk since he's well publicized to be a hinderence aide from the money he provides.
7Could you link a source? I just want to believe this; I've never actually seen evidence of it.

Muskyness aside;
Out of morbid curiosity I went into the comment section for some insta posts about this. It's just full of worship for Musk, and complete disregard for the actual engineers & Shotwell.
This thread has been far more pleasant.

Indeed, it was insane! Super impressive that they got it on the first try.
As an aside, I'm curious how you found the mp4 download link for a twitter video. Is there one for every video? Are they embeddable?
Edit: It appears that they are embeddable!
30This is the website, it didn't look like it was embedding into the post, so I uploaded it. Maybe it would have embedded if I waited longer.
12Thanks!

Holy fuck they did it
24Woke up at 5am PST to watch live. What a rush
8Absolutely amazing tech, I cannot wait to see it used more widely.
Also, I can only imagine how much better this already great advancement would be if it were to utilize rotating detonation engines, assuming it would be possible to use RDEs to land in an atmosphere with.
5Amazing!
4Somebody's youth wasted on Moon Cresta finally paid off.
2Too many dicks on the dance floor.
-31Seriously, there are no women in that entire crowd. Come to think of it they’re all white too.
Well, I suppose it’s tradition.
-22The average percentage of women in aerospace is ~13.4%
SpaceX has 14.1% female.
NASA has 35.5% women.
Boeing has 24.1% women.
Virgin Galactic has 25% women.
Blue Origin has 20% women.
Lockheed has 32% female.
Grumman has 24.5% female.
Raytheon has 29% female.
Maybe women in aerospace just don't want to work for Musk?
24Put it back in the deck, Skippy...
1Isnt middle front at 46s a woman?
