My kids and me: Me: Yeahh it landed perfectly! Kids: Dad why do you always get so excited when a rocket lands? Me: Because it is a very amazing feat that this thing went to space carrying cargo and landed back in just a few minutes. Kids: So? Me: Other rockets can't land, they just throw it into the ocean Kids: BUT WHYYYY what a waste! Me: IKR

I see a lot of complaints in the comments. There have been 70 landings already, go watch one of those. Me, I love the rarer close-ups of stage separation and boost-back. Good job guys, don't mind the negativity, we all know shit happens.

Just the pole?? How about being so closely zoomed in we couldn't see anything but a piece of the 1st stage!! What gr8 job???

That was amazing! You really get a sense when the boost-back starts of the intense acceleration with no payload and almost no fuel. I spent many years in the satellite command and control arena, and when Falcon 9s started doing these boost-backs, I thought of the proposed RTLS abort modes for the shuttle and I just couldn't take in the implications for required marginal fuel loads and the accelerations needed to do this. Then I found a site (I think for model rocket enthusiasts) that had the flight profile, and that burn is something like 15Gs. This video really brings that to life!

So true. When I modeled simple reentry I started to understand why Elon calls reentry without braking burn “hitting the wall”.

It’s incredible the things humanity is capable of, both good and bad.

Yup. Just shows you that most of the time large telescopes are severely hampered from their actual theoretical resolution by the atmospheric turbulence .i.e 'seeing'. Here the gods of clarity were in your favour despite having to give up on overall cloudiness. Brilliant footage. Bravo!

WOW! Unbelievable separation and boost back burn video capture. Bravo!

That is just freakin' awesome! Space X has changed the way rockets fly.

In the 40s of 19th century, was almost a dream seeing a rocket 🚀 to take off..., in the 60s almost a dream getting to the Moon 🌕! Now everything seems to be ordinary... Like having a rocket 🚀 booster coming back home 🏠, as it "always" happens now!!! So amazing...

Too the people that put together this presentation. Well done

awesome @ 3:08 when the separation really shows when the boost back burn is initiated while the cargo burn continues on

The gentle toss of the second stage into a graceful peel away of the booster. Using as much momentum as possible in their favor, the booster lands perfectly with only seconds of fuel left in the tank.

the stage separation is a incredible shot... just like what i imagined since i was a kid

Truly the best boost back video I have seen.

God this is beautiful. After seeing so many damn SpaceX launches, this is the one man. Or course it's usually at sea and further down range so if course we couldn't see it like this but damn... Being able to see everything from stage sep to RCS thrusts to landing like this looked unreal. 5 minutes ago, I believed they should always land on autonomous drone ships, for the obvious reasons, but after seeing this I now believe it should be on land although that's not going to happen much due to positional requirements. Just crazy visuals here. That tracking camera was masterful here.
