Falcon-9 booster landings

[pishta]

This is the coolest thing I have seen. These boosters drop out of the sky mach+ and then fire up and land upright like a bottle-flip! Amazing....Its like CGI but we all know its real now.
USA USA USA!!

These are coming down like JDAM's. I wonder what would happen if the retro rockets didnt fire? would they take out the entire complex with the fuel that never burned?

Yup. Just like they blew up complex 40 a couple years ago.......
Very impressive, though.

It’s an amazing accomplishment, and a damned complex operation.

Although they definitely blew up a few of them getting it figured out...
