Under 2km and then whooshka!
The fins don't look quite right, but significant progress

THUMP. Fuck that hit hard.
Lots of flame.Does not look 100% successful but better than previous
Amazing they landed it. Great progress, we are in the future.
I'd call that a pass too, given what they are trying to achieve and nobody has done this before.

i guess as a really hi level, if that was carrying people they would have been able to get out by now i would think so a great step forward
would have thought they would have got in their to prop it up but maybe just too heavy and they are just waiting for it to fall?

"the most expensive way to move a grain silo"...thats a good line

If they keep moving along a roughly linear curve, they're only a few years away from regular manned testing. Maybe 10 from commercial flights.

Yeah, that was great. So the next problem to solve is the landing legs.
The bit that amazes me is how accurate they are returning it the landing pad. All three made it back to that spot.

landing on a single engine just blows my mind. Musk has arguably done more than any single human in terms of advancing human spaceflight. It's amazing.
Was explaining to the kids we are on the cusp of a re-usable mars vehicle. That is not something I expected in my lifetime

Musk was talking about 2023, so add on two years to account for his usual guesses
