    1. @trothamelJul 2021· in “SpaceX will soon fire up its Super Heavy booster for the first time”

      this video is my favorite way to watch that launch, just because of the way it integrate the people watching. We haven't had the crowds since the Space Shuttle stopped watching, and DM-2, Crew-1, and Crew-2 all happened during the pandemic - so this shows the old excitement.

    2. @RobotbeatDec 2022· in “SpaceX caps 2022 with record-setting 61st Falcon 9 launch”

      This video showing kids’ reaction to the Falcon Heavy inaugural launch is pretty fun. The dual-landing is absolutely insane. Straight up science fiction. this video

    3. @clutchingstrawsFeb 2020· in “SpaceX first stage landing failed for Starlink-4 launch”

      This is accurate. More good examples of this passive-safety landing procedure in action were in the Heavy demo flight and the CRS-16 mission. The Heavy demo center core failed to relight two of the three engines needed for landing, and plunged right into the water off the side of the landing barge ( this video ). CRS-16's booster had a hydraulic failure of the grid fins but still had engine and RCS control, so it was able to make a soft water splashdown at the last second (dramatic video from the booster's perspective is here: [LINK] ).

      Unfortunately we didn't get good imagery of that particular catastrophe The best footage I've seen is at 1:10 in this video: this video
