This test was posted running LIVE.

This was an amazing launch and re-entry.

The re-entry was terrific to watch. The rocket landed just like they did in the 1950's Sci-Fi movies!

You can speed through parts of it but the whole thing is a great sight.

I watched the launch live today. It was very exciting - took me back to the '60s and the space race.

As you mentioned, the upright landing of the two side boosters was amazing to watch and did remind me of an old sci-fi movie, too.

Love him or hate him, you have to acknowledge that Elon Musk has a massive pair of cojones. I tip my hat to him and his team.

I thought it was better than any NASA launches that I remember seeing. Then to see the two side boosters and simultaneously on the adjacent pads was amazing

This plus watching and listening to the exuberance of the Space X employees was a joy to watch

It was a fantastic launch!

It sure would be nice if we didn't have to rely on buying Russian medium-sized rocket engines like we have since 1997 because we have none of our own. Unbelievable!

Watched it today as well. Simply amazing. Was science fiction like with the ‘perfect’ landing of the two boosters. Did you catch the David Bowie Space Oddity playing in the Tesla? All around great marketing too.

the marketing was phenomenal with 2 young guys and a girl doing the talking along with another man. They were well scripted but their enthusiasm was nothing we ever saw with a NASA launch
