They've been successfully recovering boosters of the Flacon 9 for around two years now, which drastically reduced costs. Now they're going bigger, but it is much harder. But this was a success, regardless. They sent the payload even further than planned (as they just burned off all the fuel in the second stage), and landed back 2 out of 3 boosters. And that footage of those two landing in sync was just ... orgasmic almost :p
Oh... chiar ma intrebam ce s-o intamplat cu "center core"-ul ca se luase camerele in timpul live-ului si pe urma am uitat sa mai caut info, desi aveam pe cine intreba - un vechi prieten de la care stiam de lansare si mi-am zis... ia sa ma uit si eu la ce se uita omul asta!
Multumesc!

I couldn't have said it any better. Good review of the launch!
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed the read :)
Glad you shared! I learned so much from your interview on Whaleshares!
Thanks, and no problem, I often post space stuff! Glad I could share good information :)
Yeah it's definitely a game changer that they can recover parts.

looks like you are very interested in this kind of "games and toys" - rockets or so :D
Sure am. Space is just awesome!
PS: Racket inseamna stoarcere de bani prin violenta. Nu-s prea mare fan la asta, si nici politia n-ar fi :p
:))) pardon, abia mă trezisem când am lăsat comentariul. Am sa dau edit sa corectez :)
Nu-i nimic :)
Chiar daca-i un subiect serios, mai si glumim, nu?
Corect :)
