Those two landing at the same time is just the most sci-fi thing humanity has ever accomplished.
And it’s just the beginning.
@@earth.is.a.plane. Jeb doesn't wear a tin foil hat you muppet!
I wonder if Elon was like: let's really wow em with two!!!
Tell me about it, I remember watching that whole thing and I swear to god it felt like fucking magic and not technology.
That landing was the only reason I watched the previous 4.
That double landing gives me chills everytime I watch it. SPECTACULAR!!!
I wish they used the corrected footage. This is the one where the camera was feed twice off the same booster. They have one where the 2nd boosters camera is used
Eric Gentry Thx for the comment, for it brought me back to watch this awesome video again. Never gets old!

Eric Gentry Omgosh, had forgot about this version. Added to my faves.. THX!! 😘
Agreed, nearly brings tears to my eyes. This is what we thought space flight would eventually look like when we were kids. Thank you SpaceX
SpaceX saving billions of dollars in this way....such a great moment in history of science!
@@lucascosta788 they are saving money. A space shuttle costs around 2 billion dollars while the Falcon 9 Heavy costs about 100 mil. The costs of rockets was the reason Elon started spaceX ( he himself said that)
Justin Nienaber has
They are also preventing from increase of space rubbish
The poorest tax payers will be thrilled about the savings.
@@davidt9537 Nah! The poorest taxpayers are already the recipients of way over 2 billion dollars of collected taxes each DAY. In the United State more is spent on Welfare programs in two weeks than is spent on NASA in an entire year. Then again, a penny saved is a penny earned!
As complex and spectacular as the lift off of a rocket is, we’ve been seeing it since the 50’s maybe before. But this? This is like watching a sci-fi movie. That landing right in the middle of an X on a platform in the middle of a rough sea... That double landing... wow!!
I recently watched an interview with Elon Musk, who likened the vertical landings to dropping a pencil off a skyscraper and having it land upright on a postage stamp!! What an achievement Go Elon, Go SpaceX.
And you believe that garbage. No wonder they put it out in the ocean. So there's no witnesses to yet another space lie.
@@accuratecourier284 LOL. You arse candle.
@@accuratecourier284 that’s because the earth is flat and it’s not that hard to land it on a flat surface that isn’t moving
Yes, you are watching CG
The falcon heavy test was one of the most exciting things I've ever seen in my life
chronic2001n,I was their too.
Can't wait to see the Starship/BFR one in 2019
As a kid, the Apollo missions were a kids delight. I enjoyed those adventures very much. The Falcon is amazing. The landings are the stuff of dreams.. :)
You must be young. (Not an insult, I wish I was!) I was 5-1/2 and too young to understand the excitement of Alan Shepard's flight, but every geeky kid I knew was rapt over John Glenn's. The moon landings never got old; every one was intense drama and excitement. To see the shuttle fly and land itself really felt like we were moving forward. We had some pretty slow decades after that - rovers are great, but not over the top exciting. Now to see this landing - two of them landing almost simultaneously right on the X (they should win their own X prize) - well it does feel like we are advancing again. I thought we'd be a LOT farther along than this by 2018, but at least we're moving forward again at last. Next I hope to see single stage re-usable to orbit sometime soon. Maybe it's time to put some actual effort into aerospike development...
When you tired of listening to politicians an economy and all that, just come here and wonder of Humanities achievements, marble of what if we all work together where would we be...
It doesn't seem to matter how many times I see these rockets landing safely, it always finds me smiling. Way to go space X.
Dan S Brown - Me too. The technology behind this is mind-blowing.
your smiling because your brain no longer can discern between fantasy and reality.
Me too
SpaceX is really Nice than NASA
Dan you need to get out more with real people and ditch the fucking sci fi zombies.
The double landing gives me chills every time. As someone who was around during the tail end of the Shuttle era, I am astounded at how far we have come and how great the future looks!
Moron
Richard Kocksworthy ? Sthu dude
Way to go SpaceX, Every time I see this it just blows me away. I'm 68 years old now, and as a young child back in the day my dad worked at Holliman Air Force Base and was a leading supervisor on the sled out there testing the first rocket fuels, high-speed pumps, he actually designed and held a patent on the first refueling suit to refuel the rocket sled Because of the hazards they encountered. On many occasions he would take me as a young child to watch them shooting the rocket sled down a 5 mile track. It was absolutely mind blowing, He would always tell me to look way down there instead of looking directly at the rocket sled itself, it was so fast you would never see it going. This was during the Mercury and Gemini Rocket programs, I still remember sitting in the living room with my dad and family watching the Apollo program & the first moon landing. Unfortunately, breathing in rocket fuel fumes while working on the pad During those beginning days of design work, gave my dad a cancer That ended his life way too short. But every time I see SpaceX , And hear the roars from all the young and marvelous technicians it gives me chills To know how they also feel that they're successfulness is paving the way for more great adventures in space. Godspeed to all the hard work and for your enduring commitments on every level that it takes to reach success. Wish my dad was around to hear all you guys cheering, and of course to see the amazing un-thought of accomplishments Of actually returning the boosters back to the launch pad....!

I have to say that all those space program landings and space station stuff you've been watching is all CGI and studio work, - Nasa, Space X, are half rocket companies, half Hollywood studios. All fake mate.
RIP for your father, fond memories and thank you for posting. god bless you and your family
Massive respect to your father, and the technicians and engineers that pionered the way forward.
I am somewhat aware of the hazards of working with hypergolic fuels, and of volatile solvents in the Israeli Air Force working on F-16s. They used to scare the crap out of us on anything to do with hydrazine.
I've used lots of nasty solvents, like Trochlorothane 1.1.1., White spirit, MEK, that are now pulled from use by USAF / IAF.
A big thanks from a space / aviation ethusiast from Israel.
"And the falcons have landed!"
That line will stick for centuries
That takes your breath away, old Sci Fi fans like me are seeing stuff we used to dream about
Some of the footage is laughably Sci-Fi. The rocket landings looks like something out of The Thunderbirds.
@@paultweedlie3697 I don't believe this stuff? I'm a 54YO civil Engineer and pilot and this simply looks like a joke? THE BOOSTERS ARE COMING IN WAYYYYYY TOO FAST, LEGS DON'T BOTHER DEPLOYING UNTIL 1 SECOND from touchdown, directional booster control nowhere to be seen, landing platform bouncing about 14 feet all over the ocean, NO CHANCE with that "footprint" that that huge booster would stand up in rocking sea's, (it would simply fall over?) BULL$HIT......... US carrier pilots struggle to get aircraft carrier landings right and we are to believe that Elon Musk is 400 years in front of us? NO WAY..................

I watched it live ive watch it hundreds of times and i still tear up while the 2 boosters land at the same time.
Did you watch it live and see the boosters land? No. The supposed landings are not shown live. The synchronized landings of 2 rockets was a Photoshop job.
Does that mean your menstrual cycle has synced up with their lunches?
Paul Tweedlie your wife is a photoshop job
Paul Tweedlie then all the people who watched live are actors ? LOL
@@paultweedlie3697 I've seen them land in person. They were selling tickets, do you remember? Or is it too much for your advanced Alzheimer?
like others, it makes me cry to see those two boosters land.. i can't explain why. perhaps it's a glimpse of hope for humanity
Still can’t get my head around how gracefully they land on the drone ship. Could never tire of watching this.
It's graceful because it's fake.
@@steventhury8366
You have first hand knowledge of this have you?
Watching those 2 rockets land next to each other at the same time makes me cry for some reason. Amazing.
Next olympic sport will be "Synchronized Landing" to classical music
Gold medal to the best CGI.
10/10
@@alexcampbell3469 The CGI dust cloud in the last landing was so obviously faked.
@@alexcampbell3469 None of this is CGI.
@@paultweedlie3697 This isn't CGI nor fake.
The stuff of legends...will be remembered for centuries to come. SpaceX is bringing the exploration of space one step closer.
I can't even land a pencil vertically on my desk, how the heck did they do it!!! AMAZING!
You just demonstrated with the pencil that this is fake.
never fails to give me the chills. and hearing all those people cheering madly makes it even better! seeing that all of the hard work paid off must be an incredible feeling!
That's the power of engineering. The science that has built the modern world we all live in.
“It’s too windy to go boating”... Meanwhile at the Space X drone ship.
That Guy lol
Did you mean SpaceX's Droneship instead of Space X landing barge?
This brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Science will truly take us to heaven.
I never get tired of watching these landings, truly remarkable
Can't get enough of this. I can watch all day.
I always love seeing the view from the boosters as they flip around and move themselves into position for reentry. So percise. I love it when science fiction becomes reality!
Im actually so happy that legends still exist....
I’m not even a sci-fi kinda guy, but seeing those two land nearly made me cry? Why am I feeling like this? Lol
don't worry that's how everyone felt. it's literally magic
Although I'm not American. But I feel proud of humanity's
technology.Keep doing Spacex I'll support you.
How can so many people actually dislike this? I just don't understand them. This is just such an amazing technological achievement.
Some people are just miserable when it comes down to other people success!
This is the kind of thing that makes America great. Not Presidents or politicians, but our scientists and technological researchers, including many immigrants who've worked hard. Let's focus on the important things like science and research, and spend less time fighting over political ad-hominem spats.
Elan Musk actually did this
This makes Humanity Great
Oh, Elon did this ALL by himself? I don't think so. SpaceX is an American Company that employs the best scientific minds we have. Type "Falcon 9 Country of Origin" into google. Notice how "South Africa" isn't the result that pops up.
country of origin , is USA because it was build there , and the company is registered there -_- , you stupid , doesnt have anything to do with the company owner Origin ..
Hamza Trabelsi If you took the time to actually read my comment, you would realize that my point of contention wasn’t with his country of origin, but the fact that people, like you, attributed everything to Musk. The “owners origin” has absolutely nothing to do with who owns the company just because he was circumstantially born elsewhere. Elon Musk wasn’t the only founder of SpaceX, moron. Again, everyone’s tendency to immediately attribute everything to Musk is beyond me. People like you seem to forget that he had to buddy up with former NASA employees to get the company on its feet, and yet you act like he built these rockets in his damn garage. SpaceX, while private, has plenty of routes in NASA. So, yeah, I think it’s wholly justified to call it an American company.
Oh, and by the way, I couldn’t help but notice that your buddy, the one said “Elon is South African actually,” deleted his comment. I guess he agrees with me.
"The Falcons Have Landed!" Gooooooooooooo. Spacex!!!
Watching that double landing even two years later still gives me the chills. Makes me feel than humankind will eventually prevail all challenges
Love how that engine bell nozzle lights up when fired. And of course, the booster landing. Instant nerdgasm.
Amazing, it's like watching one of those old science fiction movies where the rocket lands on it's pads.
The double and landing on the barge are so chilling. Truly amazing!!
Already knew falcon heavy's landings were number 1. That was one of the most amazing launches to watch. Especially when both boosters came down and landed together!! Todays launch was amazing to watch as well. Can't wait till the next one.
This is so damn amazing, wish my pops was still around to witness some of these things, definitely the brighter side of what humanity is capable of 🤔🤔☮️
Simultaneous landing just wow! so amazing.
And so obviously fake.
Paul Tweedlie lol, you know these are events anyone can attend and watch with their own yes
@@paultweedlie3697 This isn't fake.
@@paultweedlie3697 Yeah... like 4,000 engineers are all in on it. They can all keep a secret. After all Columbus had his crew keep the secret that the earth was really flat... not round.
@@John-kj3xr You don't understand how narratives are pushed onto an unsuspecting population. E.g. If children are repeatedly told that Santa is real, they will believe in Santa.
Really PHENOMENAL to see the boosters land!! NEVER gets old!!
A perspective from the older generation: The double-landing encapsulates all the dreams of what we never thought was possible in our lifetime. We grew up during the dawn of the space age with Gagarin, Armstrong, Aldrin and Yeager. To see where the space program is now, and to actually witness it, is mentally beyond measure and is literally sci-fi fantasy brought to life. The precision, the video quality, the spacecraft autonomy, the incredible technological advancements, the spacecraft design and the enthusiasm from today's young men and women is truly astonishing. This gives me hope that one day we will live on another planet, reach the stars, and thus, ensure a future for humanity.

You mean Proof that CGI is real.
The landing is the take off played in reverse ask any engineer if that's possible. How does it compensate for the wind?
how tf is this reply section so dumb
@@robineftw. They're in space. No oxygen.
I enjoy watching these events, not only for the precision landings, but also for the tremendous racket from the crowd outside Mission Control.
And the Falcon Heavy launch and twin landing? Show stopper!
Im really interested in Space and im getting goosebumps when i see how good the are. I hope for mankind that one day we can left our problems behind and reach space in peace !
i watch this 1000 times but it's never enough!
The one where the rocket lands on the ocean platform looks like they played the footage in reverse it looks so perfect. Some serious math and physics going on there.
yeah, because it's fake. spend some time doing real research with a neutral bias, you'll come to the same conclusion. it's hilarious to me now how easily people can be fooled.
codedecode clearly a troll. No one has ever reached your degree of dumb.
What I found amazing is how they "unexploded" a rocket, made it stand back up again, then launched it into space. Then reversed played that on video. It just seems easier to JUST ACTUALLY LAND THE ROCKET.L lol
@@awolf81 much appreciated, enjoy your illusion, smart guy!
@@TheAviationistKhizr thanks for sharing your thoughts, you deep thinker, you!
Wow. Getting Flight Controllers to land on land is one thing. On a floating deck is totally another thing. Fantastic. Well done SpaceX.
I never get tired of watching those rockets land simultaneously. One hundred years ago we were puttering around in planes of wood and canvas just a few hundred feet above the ground, a hundred years before that we were restricted to hot air balloons floating a few dozen feet above the Earth. Now, we reach into orbit constantly and we can land dual rockets to be reused again. Well done humanity, well done.
Those two landings at the same time is just the most futuristic thing that I only thinking in my mind or watch in movies or animations space x you did it speechless any word for you is very small
Elon Musk and his engineers are the best in the world
That last footage of the 2 falcon heavy boosters landing is actually identical from both perspectives. SpaceX originally streamed it that way, but later uploaded a corrected version where you can really see two different perspectives: one from each landing booster. (Now on SpaceX channel "Falcon Heavy Test Flight")
Thanks, I need to watch it.

Dont feed the troll
Please don't shitpost
theres also a version shot by some amatures near the site. The sonic booms from each can be heard.
The double landing was just a stroke of genius! Absolutely mind-bending!
the two landing at once will forver be one of the greatest things ever recorded in Human history
In my lifetime the russian sputnik was put in orbit, a man walked on the moon, computers were born, computer became power...very impressive. However I have to say that the double landing took my breath away...WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT! I'm not easily impressed but just thinking about the geniuses behind the company and projects gives me a sense of what humans can accomplish when focus is geared in the right direction. In short, "Holy S..t, well done!"
GEES.,PATRICK.YOUR LUCKY.YES GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR .IM GOTTA SAY IT.MANKIND👍
How about the booster landing on a moving platform in rough Seas.😲😲 Absolutely Incredible!!!!
The next, in April, the dragon capsule will fly with passengers to the ISS.
@@xEndkoNx check. moon incoming.
7:26 the little vent of gas and then smoothly stows the fins ... you badass little rocket .
The first time watching those two rockets land at the same time was exhilerating, but now, watching it again, I've come to realize I watched, and am watching, the literal future happening before my eyes. Oh the wonders of humanity never ceases to amaze.
Dude. That rocket looks like it could tip over with the slightest gust of wind with how tall and skinny it is. But somehow it manages to land while sticking straight up? What in the world?
All of it gives me goosebumps. The level of expertise that this takes is astonishing... Thank you Elon!
Expertise and credit for the CGI effect artists!
NO REALLY!I FIND THIS INSULTING @@climbingworkouts
this is just so incredible makes me happy every time
Dual landing. That's poetry.
The synchronized landing was pretty special!
Someone tell me why am I crying?!
SpaceX has shown us two verboten realities: that the private sector does things better, and that billionaires can do a lot of good for humanity.
Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon was accomplished by the combined efforts of over 400,000 people. NASA was a shining example of collective socialist endeavour. A great deal of knowledge and experience coming out of the public education service of the USA went into SpaceX. Humanity has done this together.
@@MichaelFalveyTywardreath and they did it without the help of cad cam, calculators, and cell phones.
To think our smartphones have way more computing power than the rockets that went to the moon. Incredible
@@swesleyc7 Thats true, but the computers that got us to the moon and back were the first of their kind. The first computer small enough fit in a suitcase and while it was not powerful by today's standards, it also didn't waste a lot of resources on graphics. th-cam.com/video/ULGi3UkgW30/w-d-xo.html
Actually NASA is better at killing Astronauts.
It amazes me no matter how many times I watch the two landing together.
I live 10 minutes from Cape Canaveral and seeing it live is amazing. I encourage anyone to make the trip and see it in person.
Watching a rocket launch is in my bucket list. You are so lucky!
This is beautiful, wish I could build stuff like this been a welder for 11 years have allot of pride in my work can’t imagine the feeling building something like this and seeing this
Jocelyn Fain yeah, this shows what people can do if we work together and not always fight or spread negativity.
5:39 landing a rocket - on it's end - on a moving platform. In the sea. Fecking awesome :D
That's what i said!!! Unfriggen believable.
Gives me chills every time I watch the landings!
Really hoped to see this live today. But fingers crossed for Saturday or Sunday.
So glad that even with all the excitement and hoopla, safety for Doug & Bob was paramount. Thankful that they're safe, and I'll be on the edge of my seat again on Saturday, ecstatic to see a safe launch and a successful drone-ship landing of a SpaceX rocket.
Is this satire?
"One of the only"? NO!!! The ONLY one, period!!!
"One of the only" is a grammatical error. Even if Spacex were the only company to do this, you can't say "one of the only".
I cringe when i hestd that
The world need more people like elon musk. This is extrem impressive.
It's amazing that the owner of platform for payment transaction became quickly rocket science expert and made impossible thing possible.
He's a self taught rocket scientist. You really can do anything you want if you want it bad enough
The double landing never fails to amaze me despite re-watching it dozens of times
man, this is so great. space was always one of my favorite topics as a kid. i stil wish to someday buy a telescope and just scope through the night skies.
These are all impressive but the landing on a drone ship in the ocean tops all. Look at the waves moving the ship!
I cried when i saw that double landing live.
The crowd/employees going insane is so dope!
From Malaysia🇲🇾, very proud for Elon Musk
Damn, that Aerodynamic is so amazing.
very amazing
One of the most satisfying and goose bumps at the same time video.
