~~The bottom of that thing came awefully close to the tower~~. I don’t think they need to come at it sideways so much but I am just an armchair rocket scientist.

Here is a pretty short video of the launch and landing if you want the tldw version:
Im currious about how that structure will hold up to the repeated heating/cooling cycles itll experience with continuous use.

The fact NASA never did this proves we spend too much on the military budget

NBC, seriously? Instead of posting a high quality video, you post a really low quality and low frame rate GIF?

Curious how this is going to work long term, and if/how much it will damage the booster.
In this one, it mainly adjusted in one plane, back and forth and quite a bit at times…. But what if next time it has to adjust side to side? Will it not damage the rocket by hitting the chop sticks?… Curious to see how this will work out.

It’s a good thing that jet fuel didn’t melt the steel beams.
