Watch: First Stage of SpaceX Rocket Comes in for Perfect Landing

Nov.23 — A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried a satellite into orbit on Saturday, Nov. 21. The Falcon’s first stage then flew back to Earth and landed near the launch pad. It will now be used on a future mission by Elon Musk’s company. This was SpaceX’s 66th successful stage recovery, its fourth in California.…

    0:17 there’s a cockroach walking on the engine.. great, now we’re going to have space cockroaches waiting for us on the Moon and Mars.

      The cockroaches look pretty okay in space

      That’s a very deliberately mechanical cockroach…

      Cockroaches are immortal, if the earth will be nuclerarized they can adapt and survive, wish science study them and adapt cockroach adaptability and uses as suit to space

      Super tardigrades have spawned. Must’ve been an 8 incher

      yeah but why it can never be puppies? like infect Mars with space puppies? can we please just fast forward to the simulation? great job Elon, “colonizing Mars” was supposed to be fun..

    And they say Blue Origin is behind because they’re trying to “perfect” landings.

    The only problem is SpaceX already perfected it years ago…

    Damn. Are the sonic booms here responsible for cutting off the video signal?

    • Robert Christensen

      November 24, 2020 at 6:21 pm

      No its the movement of the antenna

    • Kalman Mahlich

      November 24, 2020 at 7:20 pm

      @Robert Christensen I know that but like what caused it to move in the first place? On the drone ship its the vibrations of the rocket and the fact that the drone ship is floating on the ocean so its wobbling. But here, on ground. What is it?

    • Robert Christensen

      November 24, 2020 at 7:27 pm

      @Kalman Mahlich yeah we probably watched the same video on that then – I know it’s not a sonic boom because a sonic boom is what occurs when something is going fast, not when something is slowing down. It’s obviously not the cameras issue so it’s whatever facilitates that transaction, which I assume is the antenna which is wobbled by sonic waves and air pressure from the incoming booster

    • Kalman Mahlich

      November 24, 2020 at 7:46 pm

      @Robert Christensen that would be my assumption as well yeah. But fyi sonic booms do occur as the vehicle slows down right before landing. Just in case you didn’t catch that, that’s why I was thinking about that.

    Amazing what they can do with CGI nowadays….looks just like the graphics in COD Black OPs
