    Muskyness aside; it is pretty impressive to watch, almost looks like the footage has been reversed.

    Audio is really annoying.

      lol, how is the audio annoying? Those are literally the engineers who worked on this, one of the most difficult engineering problems in human history, having nailed it on their first try.

      If you want pure rocket audio, look into cosmic perspective after a few weeks.

          You know when you try, and try and try and try and fail every time…

          But then you scratch your left tit and try again and you finally make it?

          You made it first try after scratching your tit!

          The first time they tried to catch with the chopsticks, it workes without blowing up the whole launchpad.

          When they did this with the Falcon 9, it took several flights to get a landing without significant damage to the drone ship, the booster, or both.

          Pretty impressive that they got it to work right out of the gate with the Super Heavy Booster

            Well, this time around, even though a different mechanism was used, they had all the Falcon experience to draw from, which shortens development.

            It also proves the importance of progressive integration tests even if they’re destructive. The amount you can learn by actually putting everything together is just fundamentally necessary to make sure these complex systems work.

      Muskyness aside;

      Out of morbid curiosity I went into the comment section for some insta posts about this. It’s just full of worship for Musk, and complete disregard for the actual engineers & Shotwell.

      This thread has been far more pleasant.

        Could you link a source? I just want to believe this; I’ve never actually seen evidence of it.

      Musk just owns the company, which sucks. There are clearly a lot of very talented people there who do actually work while Musk is in his K-hole.
