Still amazes me that they can put a booster down on a barge!

And soft enough not to sink it.
This launch seemed faster than others. I’ve watched most of them from my backyard and this one seemed to head down range sooner and it covered the distance from Vandenberg to over my house much quicker than usual. Not sure why 🤷🏻♂️. It was another great launch!
These landings are so cool to watch. Brilliant
Fascinating stuff... Here I sit in my shop watching all this cool stuff on a computer that fits in my pocket... When my parents were my age this was only stuff of science fiction. 😱 I think what amazes me most is how they can bring the first stage back from space and land it perfectly on a barge out in the vast expanse of the ocean.

because pgehas "pge wiring errors" on youtube , will a screech be heard at 2 minutes?
Where did it land? Is it off the California coast?
Did they launch to the west out of Vandenberg???
👍👍👍
It seems like these guys are launching a new rocket like once a week is that really the case? I keep surfing KZread and I see all these launches and I’m not sure if they’re like legitimately new ones every week?WTF👊🏽🤙🏽🤘🏽
that first stage landing... 50 km's up and still doing 7000km/h and no drag??
I love you Elon !!
gyönyörű!❤

Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy use Merlin 1D. It's a kerosene-oxygen gas generator cycle (as opposed to Raptor's much more complicated and experimental full-flow staged combustion cycle), and currently holds the record for the highest thrust-to-weight ratio of any rocket engine. It's not as efficient or sophisticated as Raptor, but is still a very good engine in it's own right, and has proven to be a reliable workhorse for the Falcon fleet.
