Never gets old! I've watched every launch and the shots of the exhaust plumes or RCS thrusters is beautiful. My Dad was an engineer with NASA Engineering and Development and died a couple of years after the shuttle program ended. He wasn't a drone collecting a paycheck, he was a believer and dreamer into our exploration of space. He'd be so excited and proud of what SpaceX has accomplished with reusable boosters.

It's crazy that SpaceX has landed several boosters now TEN times!! Even more crazy that Falcon landing has become such a regular thing that it barely makes any headlines. I can't wait to see how many flights these boosters can do!

I’ll never get tired of watching the boosters land. It’s amazing!

Seeing the Falcon 9 lands for the 100+ time still amazes me..Never gets old. Way to go spacex!

20:40 its so cool to see all the separated components in a single shot (stage 1, stage 2 and the 2 fairings)

Love the infrared camera footage of first stage and separation!

17:20 for launch 20:00 MECO and stage separation 25:48 for landing

the IR video of second stage was great, and one of the best drone ship landing coverage to date! Thanks for sharing.
@randomphil8666 2 years ago

That image where you could see the booster separated and both fairings and then the upper stage all separated, but all in one frame. Beautiful!
@irrefudiate 2 years ago

That ground shot of stage separation was amazing. And the second stage hauling ass away from the booster and fairing halves. Wow, they're getting good at this stuff. Three flights in three weeks. That doesn't seem possible.
@Mickykatembu 2 years ago

Wow... 2 amazing things with this launch... 1. Viewing the stage separation, and fairings at almost same time, from the ground camera, amazing 2. There was no loss of signal this time round when booster was landing!! 👍👍

Absolutely beautiful IR views. 103rd Booster landing of another 10th use booster was amazing. Congratulations SpaceX team, making history real time!

Always fun to watch. I remember the Mercury launches. How I envy you young people and the things you'll do in space.

I don't know why but the view today of the exhaust plumes was just amazing. You could really see them power and speed of this beast.
