It's true. He's a bit eccentric and polarizing, as were so many great historical figures. Even when there is seemingly no business value he is not afraid to spend billions to make the attempt. Not everything is going to work out but this is how great accomplishments are made. NASA is so bloated in bureaucracy and caught up in goals and mandates that are irrelevant to their overall purpose they are simply incapable of doing things like this anymore.

0:50 when you say "it was the company's first attempt to retrieve a booster back" you need to be more specific. They recover boosters all the time. This is the company's first attempt to retrieve a starship booster. You could have also said, this is the company's first attempt to land a booster back on the launch tower.
CONGRATS to the entire SpaceX team!! @WSJ: your comments/subtitles are imprecise: SpaceX has been landing rocket boosters (1st stages) for a LONG time, hundreds of successful landings in the books! Today was a massive NEXT step by having the rocket return directly to the launch pad & the launch tower catch the booster during landing. This was AMAZING, INSPIRING & F#*IN CRAZY!! History was written today.
One of the major things this means is that reusable large payload launches become exponentially cheaper making colonizing the Moon and Mars so much cheaper and likely to happen within our lifetime. We are going to see Starship used for all kinds of ideas that were considered too expensive before like a hotel in space or a true rotating ring shaped space station with its own pseudo gravity. We are going to see mining in space bringing more riches than the entire planet Earth has now. We may have just witnessed the beginning of the explosion of the human race into the universe.

Elon is generational man. Same league as Henry Ford and Edison. Shots out to all the engineers and rocket scientists who worked on this. This is mostly their hard work. But also give Elon his flowers. He's the one with the vision, drive, business sense, and engineering input as well.
Meanwhile, Mark Cuban still mad no one pays him any attention and trashes Elon while Elon and his team is landing rockets with precision after “catching” it post launch.
0:36 when you say that "the vehicle then latched down on the mechanical arms" was that a typo? Did you mean to say touched down? Nothing was latched together during the landing.
Definitely in terms of landing rockets for reuse making launches cheaper. In some other ways, SpaceX has more to do. They haven't reached the moon yet like Russia and China. But they will. A few more iterations of Starship re-entry should fix those problems.
its the fastest, cheapest way to land and reuse a rocket when this eventually properly developed in the future. But its the most difficult to engineer, majority once thought currently landings like this were impossible to do.

Absolutely fantastic, what a precision! I can imagine the reaction, excitement of the people in the control room of that operation.
All the work was in the telemetry & rocket guidance system, which is pretty impressive. The pad simply moved the arms slightly laterally.
Amazing

Why couldn’t they just strap a massive parachute to it ? Why does it need to be that precise ?

@@Blitznn10 it sure is difficult!
I guess the next step is to see whether that thing is reusable.
it would have to be a huge parachute... And it would damaged or destroyed when it lands anyways.
