This was one of the greatest livestreams ever made. The Texas landscape, the microphones in the launchpad, the cameras in the air and even in different States following the rocket from the ground, the signal cutout and waiting anxiously to see if the rocket was OK, the demonstration of the Starlink streaming capabilities on re-entry, the animations to explain what the rocket was doing and why, and the re-entry itself (something humans have never seen before), creating one of the most spectacular light shows ever created by man. And the drama at the end with the flap and camera breaking. SpaceX makes every livestream a movie.

[@DarkNightDreamer]

Agreed. I will never get tired of seeing the rolling clouds of nitrogen going across the landscape like at 0:03 Also just seeing the shockwaves rushing out across the water and through the clouds is awe inspiring. I remember going to KSC and seeing the Saturn V on display thinking that we will never see a rocket this big and powerful fly again.. fast forward to today and we have this beast that has more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V.

I don't think the re-entry shots will ever get old, actually insane.

[@justinseans]

I've been waiting weeks for this every single day. These videos are the highlight in between flights

That shot at 0:24 The ocean, the beach, the shockwaves going through the humid air. So amazing!!! Splendid work. 🎉🎉 Looking forward to Flight 5.

Please bring back high quality streams on YT! X is horrible with constant 720p,480p downgrades mid stream and not working rewind.

I know they won't come back to KZbin but I sure hope they make Twitter top class

[@jtluns9]

The magnitude of this achievement has brought together and united both nerds and geeks alike

[@richardbates6311]

Oh my. The ending showing the arms - next-up a catch? Chills all over.

[@kertsisontare5266]

Even the team can't believe it! That was absolutely incredible!!!!

[@emilbrothersmedia2533]

One can not overstate how epic this is

[@defects777]

That transition from the go for launch call into ignition gives me goosebumps every time, it’s like a movie

[@Furrrburger]

The brightest minds, solving the most insanely difficult engineering challenges, lesser minds labeled impossible!

I teared up twice during the live stream of this. So exciting and I can’t wait for Flight 5.

Watching this launch live, feeling the hairs on my neck and arms stand up, pulse racing, breathing faster. This was the most exhilarating sense I've felt in a looong time. Watching it nail the booster landing, endure reentry and soft land the ship while partially crippled. This is hope, for humanity's future and survival.
