That youtube channel has come a long way, I’ve been watching their Starship coverage for a couple of years now, and the amount of camera gear they are putting out there, the footage they are getting is absolute pro-level now. Over the next few days I’ll have a lot of videos to watch from them and others.
It’s crazy, right now hardly anybody is talking about that picture perfect lift-off of this huge monster rocket anymore. Not a single engine failure in thirty nine engines. Wonderful.
another video of the ‘catch’

A big thank you to Julio and JonR for capturing this momentous occasion. Words can’t describe this historic moment.

They are really putting the competition to shame, I imagine some higher-ups in the space industry are having a bad day. Imagine being responsible for the development of NASA’s SLS or ESA’s Ariane 6, where they are just rolling out their great new single use rockets, and there comes SpaceX, having just flown the most powerful rocket ever built, and they have their booster back in one piece, right at the launch pad. Not to mention that the building cost of a Super Heavy Booster is only a small fraction of a single use SLS rocket.
SpaceX has gained an enormous lead. If you look at all the other rockets, they are basically still V2s, just bigger and more powerful. Proven technology, yes, but no longer innovative.

No problem, it’s a fair question, and this clip could of course have been posted in the music topic. However, I decided to put it here, because I did find the impressive acrobatics to be the most important thing here, making the song itself sort of secondary. Also, this is a movie clip, with over one minute of dialogue before the Ross Sisters enter the stage

I wonder, is this genuine? It’s just that her right hip, knee and ankle alignment seem a bit ‘off’ (with eachother) to me. I wondered if there might have been some editing (not by you necessarily) that went a bit awry…
