More than amazing.

Looked like the first engine shut down but then a second went off.

Edit: Ah, it was planned. Thought they were landing with two engines.

Well done SpaceX that was utterly incredible!

 

[Malevolence]

Goosebumps.

 

[lookitsjonno]

Amazing, never looked in doubt this time

That was a hard landing, seems to have resulted in that lean. It actually bounced on touchdown.

No ******* way.

Bottom of the rocket looks very close to the ground. I have a feeling those feet got crushed.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Wow they did it!

 

[Somnambulist]

Just randomly tuned into this as I looked at Twitter - was looking dicey during the final bit of the descent then sorted itself out in time.

Step by step.

That looks 99% successful.

Legs didn't deploy or collapsed entirely... and is on fire.

[edit]

Can see the little landing legs deploy on the SpaceX feed, and also shows the landing to be a little rough. But damn it... it's down and substantially less disassembled than SN8 and SN9

yea must have bent or broken something

doubt they care much

 

[Malevolence]

Apparently the legs are only a temporary system designed to just get the job done, the real ones fitted to the production models will be a lot more substantial.

 

[Malevolence]

Kerboom!

 

[Longbow]

It just blew up!

SpaceX knows how to put on a show.

 

[VaderDSL]

Oh that’s a shame!

 

[The_One]

BOOM!!!

 

[Malevolence]

Wonder if it was deemed too dangerous to approach due to the lean so they pushed a button.

 

[kaiowas]

Second launch was less successful

 

[steve45]

Fastest turn around yet!

 

[gettothechopper]

whoa what a landing
