Whooooo!!

(It’s gonna pop)

[anonymous-user]

Come on. Don’t explode!

[Beati Dogu]

Wait for it.... wait for it....

[anonymous-user]

They can’t lose it now. Come on!

[MiniMan64]

It’s down...

...but will it stay in one piece?

[Leithen]

How long before anyone is brave enough to go anywhere near it.....

Damn good.

[MartG]

Looks like they've got the fire out

[Beati Dogu]

The engines during the flight looked a very good. No random fires on them this time.

The fire on landing seems to be out now and they’re venting the tanks to safe the rocket.

2 engines were running very close to the ground there. Earlier flights were one 1 engine by then. Interesting.

Edit: Rewatched and it landed on 2 engines.

Time to send in the SpaceX robot dogs - Zeus and Apollo. Named after the Dobermans in Magnum PI I expect.

Shame it was cloudy. Always impressive getting a tin can measuring nearly 50m tall by 12m wide up and down again!

I think they've finally done it.
