"Well technically it did land, ...just not in one piece" -Every Kerbal Space Program player ever
-
I love a company that is willing to show their mistakes so openly because they eventually frickin did it
-
we need a sequel in the next 4 years called "How Not to Land a Superheavy Booster"
-
0:48 I love how that one RCS is trying it’s absolute hardest to keep the rocket up
-
When billionaires get tired of Kerbal Space Program*
-
“Well it technically did land, but not in one piece.” It’s nice to see a company that can laugh at its own failures
-
186 successful booster landings later, it now classed as routine for SpaceX.
-
I like how SpaceX has put a humorous twist on a usually more serious topic. It makes for a nice change from the grim tone of: oh no we failed.
-
SpaceX: fails rocket landings Also SpaceX: "it was funny tho"
-
"Its not an explosion, its just a rapid unscheduled disassembly." -SpaceX
-
So impressive that, after all the trial and error, you managed to actually land on that moving platform, and continue to. It is a true work of art.
-
Total respect. You can't just look up in a book how to do this stuff, you have to figure it out. That takes tests, lots of tests. and lots of commitment. You guys rock! Never quit! (but you already know that part!!)
-
Multi-million dollar rocket: Crashes and explodes. SpaceX: Lol.
-
And now they had a successful crew launch and the rockets all landed perfectly. Definitely a historic moment.
-
SpaceX we really need a sequal to this with Starship and the SuperHeavy booster. PLEASE The level of comedy is unmatched in these 6 years it has been.
-
I just love how volatile rockets are. One just gently tips over and EXPLODES as soon as it hits the ground. It's like what every director of an 80's action movie wished would happen to everything even remotely flammable.
-
“It crashed exactly where we wanted it to crash” -Elon Musk
-
I love how SpaceX make light of these failures but my God, they perfected it and just sent 2 astronauts to the ISS flawlessly.
-
This should be shown in every introductory Engineering course in college. Doing new things is hard. There are many trials and errors before finally figuring out how to do it. From inventing the light bulb to self-landing rockets, expect failures and don't let them deter you.

Very fitting recommendation from Youtube today haha.
