What a mega-epic sensation SN8’s high altitude test by SpaceX was 🚀🔄👍🏼 (10 Bilder)

I am watching SpaceX launches for years now and each and everyone is a marvel on the intersection of engineering and software. I read once that the booster landing on a drone ship is like throwing a pencil over the Empire States Building and land on a penny. What we saw yesterday with an ascend to a high altitude of a vehicle never been so high up, powered by engines never running for so long (and in concert and being re-ignited mid-flight), then belly-flop 50 meters of steel (that’s 12 stories high, people), keeping that silver sausage levelled that it could serve a champaign tower, and then rotate that giant Starship a few meters above ground to an upright position – I am lost for words and dropped a serious amount of tears yesterday.

Mega cudos and respect for the SpaceX team and seeing forward to SN9, SN10 and the upcoming Mars landing.
