I had to check if it were real when I first saw it. It reminded me of the Top Gear shuttle special. He’s spot on about stainless though, extremely cost effective compared to all of the exotic materials out there.

the landing is the hardest part anyways isnt it?

i recall when they were landing the other rockets back on the platforms in the water that they destroyed a few.

I know they successfully land the smaller ones and not trying to start some conspiracy, but it’s weird watching the video. The change of view right as it’s about to explode/lands. As if it was touching down…touching down… Quick change camera view and show an item already standing there exploding.  
Again, I know that’s not the case, just how it comes off in that video. (Call all feed and switch just before it explodes)

Pretty damn impressive regardless if it exploded or not. Obviously this will teach them the mistakes for the next go, which I’m sure we will see successfully land. So incredible.
