I remember staying up for that launch and the pictures posted here were incredible.

Holy fuck 2024? To put an engine on a parachute? 5 years as in “ya I think we could probably get this done in 5 years”

SpaceX must make it look easy. ULA their main competition isn’t even planning on attempting to land a booster?

REALLY? They are gonna give Elon musk a monopoly a minimum of 10 years?

What a freaking joke. By 2024 they plan on just catching the engines, not even landing the booster. Thank God for SpaceX because without them we would probably be in deep trouble for anything space related.

Ya 2024 to put a fucking parachute on the engines.

They even lied in the video showing how unprofitable it would be to try and land the rocket! Holy cow.

Look at the video of the first stage landing in this article. It may be the first where the video did not drop out as the rocket neared landing.

Reason for #CRS19's drone ship landing vs. Landing Zone 1: second stage will perform thermal demonstration after liftoff. Need that extra performance. #SpaceX
Emre Kelly (@EmreKelly) December 3, 2019

No RTLS landing because Stage 2 will do a thermal demonstration of 6hrs. Needs extra performance for that. 1st stage has to burn for longer time -- which negates the ability to do RTLS. #NASA #SpaceX #CRS19 #Falcon9 #Dragon
