They've mastered the landing part so well that no one can beat them. Other companies would take at least 3-4 years to develop and master the tech

[@milligaj1]

Considering that Space X started attempting landings 10 years ago and have been doing them successfully for nearly 7 tells me that it’s likely more that 4 years before anyone else lands a rocket

[@atulshelar9158]

But why they dont land main booster ??

[@r-saint]

@@atulshelar9158 Due to high weight of the sattelite they spent all fuel in it.

[@qbanlink25]

They got this down to a T, hundreds of successful landings in a row. Literally years ahead of any other US based competitors if not the world, good for SpaceX, keep pushing the limits.

I know this is not NASA but I do miss the voices from the 1960-1970 used to announce the launches.

[@goldfing5898]

Badass technology.

[@anthinardi6413]

Incredible!

[@jimb8601]

Dual booster landings can only be topped by dual booster landings at night!

[@kennethbrettel8762]

Space x is obviously first of its kind in the modern century. No other nation comes close. 😊

[@D.E.Middleton]

That’s exactly how I would have done that. Yup.

[@farmhome904]

So good at launching satellites that even their competition hires SpaceX to do it for them. Hilarious!

[@Mr_Smith_]

Крутяк !!!

[@NeilFiertel]

And though Elon's politics are bizarre to me his willingness to be courageous with his investments and support his dreams have made these things happen and gives me in the boreal forest decent internet through Starlink! Huzzah!
