That looked really good! Not sure about the flames at the bottom though...

That was awesome. Can't wait for SN16. Any passengers would have survived, so definitely a win! Impressed the old style landing legs held up.

It looked like it landed with 2 raptors. The new iteration must be able to throttle deeper than before.

Oh that's cool. I forgot. Today is the 60th anniversary of Shepard's first flight.

I'll admit I'm pretty anti-BO. F* Bezos and his attempt to patent water landings. If they ever make it to orbit I'll probably be happy for them, but until they do they're just another example of why the space industry has been locked in the '60s for so long.
