Watch a SpaceX booster land in awesome drone ship footage

A SpaceX rocket first stage landed on the “Just Read the Instructions” drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean a few minutes after launching the Lockheed Martin-built GPS III Space Vehicle 05 for the U.S. Space Force. It blasted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on June 17, 2021.

    Falcon 9 is arguably overall the best orbital rocket ever made

    Those finned rocket ships that landed upright in those 50s scifi films have finally become a reality!



  3. James Chanbonpin on October 24, 2021 at 11:11 am

    How absolutely fake. Wow.

    This amazing feat really helps take the sting out of loosing our Shuttle. Truly incredible.

    By SpaceX’s standards, that was a poor landing because it didn’t land dead-center in the circle. What SpaceX has accomplished is absolutely miraculous!

    Rewind?

    I will never get tired of watching one of these technological marvels land.
    Mind blowing. 🤯

    as stupid as a human decided to land on head. plenty of reusable methods. this is high school losers method.

    INCRÍVEL..ESPETACULAR..



  10. pSlTac on October 24, 2021 at 11:14 am

    As many experimentals as NASA tried with actual craft, Space X comes along and makes it look second nature with a booster. Amazing work guys !!



  11. ryan breton on October 24, 2021 at 11:16 am

    I was pumped seeing the clear view



  12. John Haggar on October 24, 2021 at 11:19 am

    Nailed.

    You guys are Awesome!

    Why is Jeff allowed to dislike a video 71 times?



  17. Michael Lubin on October 24, 2021 at 11:24 am

    They go to this much trouble to land a friggin’ booster?



  18. lee martin on October 24, 2021 at 11:25 am

    I thought it was clever when my robot vacuum found it’s charging station on its own, never mind this 😀



  19. Ian Caskie on October 24, 2021 at 11:26 am

    WOW 😳 Absolutely Breathtakingly Beautiful ❤️



  20. larushka1 on October 24, 2021 at 11:31 am

    So cool to see clear landing footage from the drone ship. Previously that camera had a tendency to cut out on landing.



  21. mk VV on October 24, 2021 at 11:32 am

    Don’t feed the trolls.



  22. Dean Williams on October 24, 2021 at 11:33 am

    To all you Flat Earthers, I’d really like to know where you get your mind tripping drugs from. It is on an ETSY store , only available in China or Colorado… Got it…. it’s DC. That’s where all mind altering drug ideas originate.



  23. M M on October 24, 2021 at 11:33 am

    These people take the cake,,,,,unreal…



  24. Barry Hoffman on October 24, 2021 at 11:34 am

    It didn’t land IN a drone ship. It landed ON a drone ship.



  25. NiceRage2009 on October 24, 2021 at 11:35 am

    I’ve watched dozens of these landings and I’ll never get tired of watching them. It was a nice change that the cameras didn’t cut out this time as they usually do. I love it when on the rare occasion they are able to put them down on dry land. With all the different photographers you get so many different amazing views. My fav one so far was when they had the two boosters come down and land almost at the exact same time. Absolutely amazing!😲

  27. Dave Chimny on October 24, 2021 at 11:39 am

    Look at this! They come from space and nail it right on the spot every single time. It’s like throwing a ball from 100 meters away and always score into the basket.



  28. TREND_VFY on October 24, 2021 at 11:42 am

    so FAKE sayers now were amazed on how SpaceX did it without video feed cut. (normal routine landing day at SpaceX)



  29. John Cheetham South Africa on October 24, 2021 at 11:42 am

    Russians had the idea first, see my video 12.



  30. audio scavenger on October 24, 2021 at 11:43 am

    Clickbait. The thumbnail is a video of 1fps



  31. High Alpha on October 24, 2021 at 11:44 am

    WOW!



  32. Martin on October 24, 2021 at 11:47 am

    first 1000 views were Chinese engineers



  33. woowooNeedsFaith on October 24, 2021 at 11:47 am

    0:44 – It is pathetic to call that as a slow-motion.



  34. Soul Machines on October 24, 2021 at 11:48 am

    Nice CGI work SpaceX but you ain’t fooling anyone with these fake videos.



  35. Tag Ret on October 24, 2021 at 11:50 am

    Omy so funny. And people believe this crap.
    The bigger the lie, the more they believe. Cheers



  36. R J P on October 24, 2021 at 11:50 am

    All this fantastic technology and some pea-brain nerd still films in this dreadful Vertical Mode. Down Voted. "Say No To Vertical Video" We want it banned from YouTube.



  37. Simon Multiverse on October 24, 2021 at 11:54 am

    It looks as if we saw the actual moment of landing this time. For most SpaceX landings, the video cuts out JUST AS IT’S ABOUT TO LAND which is infuriating. It’s like seeing a game of football except you CAN’T SEE THE GOALS. It’s like sitting in front of a meal, you can chew it BUT YOU CAN’T SWALLOW. It’s like sex but you’re not allowed to have an orgasm.



  38. G Pat on October 24, 2021 at 11:54 am

    We were born too soon. Our future generations will never understand what they will have access to.



  39. Larry Major on October 24, 2021 at 11:55 am

    If a dragster shot down the speedway and you reversed the camera footage it would shoot backwards up the speedway too.



  40. Victoria Williams on October 24, 2021 at 11:55 am

    I absolutely love watching this live!



  41. Entropy wins on October 24, 2021 at 11:56 am

    If we only didn’t have politicians in this planet….



  42. David Fox on October 24, 2021 at 11:58 am

    Never get fed up with watching this awesome achievement.



  43. Dan George on October 24, 2021 at 11:59 am
