      @@adamc5057 SpaceX was the first to have successful rocket landings from rockets going to orbit and remains the only company to do so to this date (Bezos' Blue Origin has only managed a sub-orbital flight to the edge of space).
      It is amazing they have already scaled up to a booster (shown in this video) more powerful than the Saturn V (multiple times more powerful than any booster available today from anyone, re-usable or not) before any other company has managed to make ANY real orbital flight from a landing rocket.

    Say what you want, nothing has been as exciting as SN8 so far. First Starship with the entire configuration, first to the launch pad. And then, it doesn't just get off the ground, it executes a perfect ascent... And then the freaking belly flop!!! And then, near the ground, it reignites, maneuvers and looks like it might nail the landing, right up until it blows up. Absolutely incredible first flight!!

    Just terrific. Perfect timing for this amazing compilation. I'd almost forgotten the initial 'baby steps.' I was happy all weekend about Starship. Sure both stages were destroyed, but it was clear the amazing people at Space X were making rapid progress. One criticism. Put dates on the clips. and "Now' is not a date. It won't be very long before we're watching these clips as Starship is landing on the moon. I've been rushing out to see a Space X launch from Vandenberg trying to search for "Space X launch live." Dozens and dozens of clips show up in the list, all say 'Live' no dates.
