So that is what i saw today like an hour ago in th sky. I mean just the clouds from it. I'm in FL. or did I see something else?
>>
>>53939087
Nope, that was it. You're lucky though, I live in California, and the closest I've gotten to this sorta thing is hearing sonic booms on shuttle re-entry.

I'm still hype for the fact that they pulled the landing off.

You realize you're talking about a collective of 22 member states VS a single private company that manufactures mostly everything in house.

This single entity is poised to colonize mars, and is announcing its infrastructure for the Mars Colonial Transporter this year.

>>53940702
yeah it is better, since you don't have to waste thousands of dollars on taking a bunch of boats out to sea to catch your little rocket
way cheaper and more efficient
>>
>>53940727
They can land the rockets on land too, and they have, its just safer to do it at sea because people don't live in the sea so you're not very likely to accidentally kill anyone while trying to land your rocket

...You know that the booster rockets for the space shuttle were tossed in the ocean and completely trashed, right?

You know these big giant tanks strapped to the bottom of it?

It's a step forward maybe, but certainly not a revolution...

pfff the american shuttle's booster rockets were a retarded expensive solution that couldn't even be reutilised without high mainanance
the cheap russian copy actually fixed that with the integrated fuel tank/booster design that could actually be reused multiple times

@ 33:59 - Piece of what looks like cotton ball (probably from a Bantha leftover from the the Force Awakens) rolls out from the exhaust cone.
@ 34:40 It magically appears again in the same spot it was before.

The whole thing is fake. They are looping the takes.

Yes, that guy is a huge fucking moron.

The Shuttle was an unmitigated disaster, both in cost and reliability, largely due to being a winged design.
