That was nuts.

As cool as it would have been to see that thing blow up the tower. The fact that they caught it is just incredible. Now let’s see if they can land the ship safely (not even sure if they’re going to attempt it this time).

Beat me to it!!!

The goal is for the heat shield to survive and allow a soft water landing, but they won't recover it unless they retrieve it from the bottom of the ocean.

Amazing day in history!

We are getting closer.

Starship is starting to glow! Hopefully less burning this time.

We be having plasma!

Flap is burning again
