    You know it's impressive when the actual side boosters landing looks exactly like the animation made 3 years ago

    2015: We haven't landed a rocket yet, but we will land 3 at the same time 2018: Yeah so we landed 24 rockets and this thing, have a human flight-certified rocket, got NASA to rebuild one of their towers, our own capsule, space suits, and there's a roadster headed for Mars.

    Ok what mods are you using to get these great visuals in KSP?

    ""THE THREE FALCONS HAVE LANDED"" - I CANT WAIT FOR THAT STATEMENT IN NOVEMBER THIS YEAR. CANT WAIT.

    This animation video was uploaded more that 3 years ago. 1:26 looked almost exactly how it did in reality today. This is amazing.
  • @doraaaa0613

    Pfft, my Kerbals do this every day, and only exploded 57 times.

    Only difference is that there's a fucking car in the space instead of a satellite.

    Music that rockets should deserve. Instrumental rock.

    Ten years ago when SpaceX started building rockets I'm not sure anyone truly realised just what sort of position they would be in today. There is nothing fantastical about this video, in one decade they have gone from R&D project to capable and - crucially - reusable launch vehicle with the Falcon and seeing this heavy version fly is just a matter of time. Amazing company and an amazing achievement.

    Nothing is impossible, if your heart is in it. Thank you Elon.

    I've started to expect all stages of a rocket to fly back, now. Payload fairings. Interstages. The little ring cover thing on the edge of the interstage. Loose bolts firing little rockets and flying back to the SpaceX pad.

    And so the Falcon rises, pushing against the gravity of our planet to reach new heights and chart new courses, a pillar of fire symbolizing a middle finger to nature. You can't keep us down! We Heavy Now!  You know, for all the uncertainty that we're facing nowadays, there's no doubt in my mind that this is the beginning of a resurgence of space interest. I mean, half the comments are KSP players.  We're ready to go back. We never should have left. Let's go to space!

    This might be the only time that an aerospace company has ever produced concept art that actually looks as cool as the finished product
