NASA literally orders stuff to be made by subcontractors. They never “made” anything really in terms of hardware. Sure they manage the projects on the customer side since they are the customer, and they design missions and so on. But this not happening earlier is not on NASA at all. It is on the subcontractors that burn money with not much to show for it.

What I personally find almost more unbelievable was that we were able to see the entire reentry crystal clear. That was previously thought to be impossible.
It WAS impossible, because the plasma blocked transmission to the ground receivers. Impossible UNTIL Starlink laser comm was able to receive the signal from above... 👍🏼 SpaceX rocks and Elon is best human.
NASA doesn’t need to “catch up”. They are not in the business of making rockets. They have already caught up because they are SpaceX’s customer for Starship moon missions and surely many others once the “stable” stack version will be carrying customer loads. Literally in a couple of years this will be taking off with NASA insignia on the booster and the ship. Taking off many, many times in fact.
@@morskojvolk NASA had nothing to do with the creation of this rocket, nor this spaceport, nor this company. The bootstrapped it on their own. If we were relying on NASA's current level of innovation, this wouldn't happen for another 400 years.

It WAS impossible, because the plasma blocked transmission to the ground receivers. Impossible UNTIL Starlink laser comm was able to receive the signal from above... 👍🏼
SpaceX rocks and Elon is best human.
@@Wi2LowSpaceX rocks in spite of Elon at this point.
Guess you love censorship by big daddy government
@@absurdengineeringbut, no Elon, no space x. He founded it and as Jensen Huang just said regarding colossus , well, you look it up.
@@absurdengineeringspacex only exists because of elon
Wow I've never the whole thing take off, but its just as awesome as watching the space shuttle take off.
That catch was absalutely bonkers
Elon hires very smart people who work hard. This shows the fruits of their labors. JOB WELL DONE
Still hard to believe, even after dozens of replays... What a flight !
This achievement brought tears to my eyes! Absolute legends Elon and SpaceX well done 🫡

That is f*****g unbelievable. Absolutely fantastic genius work.
Was an insane moment in history i wish I could have seen it at Boca FTJ
Amazing, cool future is waiting for next gen now
This is what science fiction looked like when I was a kid.
How can I get tired of watching it?! It’s F history right in front of our eyes! Here and now! We were part of it!
How cool is that?!
I was here, and was really amazing, loved is so much ❤❤
Never get old watching that the greatest catch I’ve seen.
Absolutely🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🥇. Congratulations to SpaceX team.
The most spectacular thing I have seen since the moon landing. It looked like magic. Mind boggling! Congratulations SpaceX and Elon Musk.
NASA’s never gonna catch up if spaceX is catching skyscrapers with skyscrapers 😂
NASA doesn’t need to “catch up”. They are not in the business of making rockets. They have already caught up because they are SpaceX’s customer for Starship moon missions and surely many others once the “stable” stack version will be carrying customer loads. Literally in a couple of years this will be taking off with NASA insignia on the booster and the ship. Taking off many, many times in fact.
About $200 billion of our yearly defense budget should be going to space exploration.
NASA doesn't build rockets, it contracts them. SpaceX's success is NASA's success.
@@morskojvolk NASA had nothing to do with the creation of this rocket, nor this spaceport, nor this company. The bootstrapped it on their own. If we were relying on NASA's current level of innovation, this wouldn't happen for another 400 years.
Looks like animation 😮 but extremely precision maneuver
This looks like a scary commercial for a SpaceX Suppository.
Não me canso de ver. Parabéns aos envolvidos. Os matemáticos do passado estão orgulhosos.
Запомним этот день!
