When billionaires get tired of Kerbal Space Program*
-
This is 100% the most expensive youtube video ever made
-
we need a sequel in the next 4 years called "How Not to Land a Superheavy Booster"
-
186 successful booster landings later, it now classed as routine for SpaceX.
-
"Well technically it did land, ...just not in one piece" -Every Kerbal Space Program player ever
-
I can imagine Elon editing this at 3AM in his mansion laughing to himself
-
I like how SpaceX has put a humorous twist on a usually more serious topic. It makes for a nice change from the grim tone of: oh no we failed.
-
SpaceX we really need a sequal to this with Starship and the SuperHeavy booster. PLEASE The level of comedy is unmatched in these 6 years it has been.

Multi-million dollar rocket: Crashes and explodes. SpaceX: Lol.
-
“It crashed exactly where we wanted it to crash” -Elon Musk

I just love how volatile rockets are. One just gently tips over and EXPLODES as soon as it hits the ground. It's like what every director of an 80's action movie wished would happen to everything even remotely flammable.
-
Total respect. You can't just look up in a book how to do this stuff, you have to figure it out. That takes tests, lots of tests. and lots of commitment. You guys rock! Never quit! (but you already know that part!!)
-
“Well it technically did land, but not in one piece.” It’s nice to see a company that can laugh at its own failures
-
i love how SpaceX actually jokes about their failures
-
Very fitting recommendation from Youtube today haha.
-
So impressive that, after all the trial and error, you managed to actually land on that moving platform, and continue to. It is a true work of art.
-
SpaceX: fails rocket landings Also SpaceX: "it was funny tho"
-
"We don't make mistakes; we have happy little unscheduled disassemblies."
-
This should be shown in every introductory Engineering course in college. Doing new things is hard. There are many trials and errors before finally figuring out how to do it. From inventing the light bulb to self-landing rockets, expect failures and don't let them deter you.

It’s crazy to see all progress made since this
