What about centre core booster?

[@tomboard1]

The satallite's orbit required the center core to use all it's fuel for a successful mission so it was not recovered.

[@StoneColdSteveAustin316.]

This is how a launch is supposed to be done. Not like that stupid Boeing BS.

[@debbiebrannen1845]

"Go Goes-U" ha ha

[@dalerobinson3436]

Where's the telemetry?

[@goldenshatter]

isn't a spacex payload

[@michaelbear5171]

How's the birds flying past the SpaceX rocket almost as big as the rocket? And it's farther away than the rocket is. You can see it go behind the flames of the rocket

[@Krzys_D]

lol that was weird, it was the camera exposure it set lower from the day light then the rocket flame is much higher so it gets washed out in the sensor then anything going past it is going to look weird like the bird.

That’s fucking awesome ❤❤❤❤

[@JohnDoe-bi4ho]

It’s so great to see this lift off. But people are not asking why private companies are putting satellites in orbit.

[@preposterouswalrus1886]

Why are private companies putting satellites in orbit?

[@bsaal2310]

We know why. Government bureaucracy and red tape. Private = fast and cheaper. Simple.

[@screechingwind114]

Space lasers or EMPs ?
