A fully and rapidly reusable rocket will fundamentally change how humanity accesses outer space. “The Holy Grail of Rocketry” continues the ongoing Starship series with a look back at the scrappy days of SpaceX engineers proving reuse was possible and takes you onboard a high-seas race to recover a floating Starship
Launch rehearsal complete. During a flight-like countdown, more than 5,000 metric tonnes (11+ million pounds) of propellant were loaded on the fully stacked Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles for the first time

El machín 🇲🇽⚒️
Reminder why every landing is worth watching-
SpaceX the last few years has averaged 1 lost booster per year... & so far, to my knowledge, we haven't lost a booster yet in 2022 so any landing could be *the* landing.
Crazy how we now consider failures of reuse rare.
