foxmulder_ms Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 That simultaneous landing of the boosters was .............. EPIC. It was a historic moment. https://youtu.be/j8wxV-lUsZg?t=29m54s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Gotta also give SpaceX credit for having a sense of humor. Won't see NASA or any of the other establishment contractors putting together a video of "epic fails". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eh, Space X is just a bunch of copycats plagiarizing pulp sci-fi covers. ;) Seriously though, Daaaaaaaang that was awesome!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Even awesomer was that Buzz aldrin was alive and kicking to tweet about it https://twitter.com/TheRealBuzz/status/960982401047584768 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Gotta hand it to Musk and crew. They are boldly stepping in to be the firstest private launch service. Everyone knew private industry had to take over; I mean, it's in every sci-fi space story written over the past century. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roym Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Epic! I haven't been this excited since the first shuttle launch. Was too young for Apollo. The formation flying boosters landing will be an iconic image. Edited February 10, 2018 by terrysumner Unacceptable political comment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
