SpaceX successfully lands a Falcon 9 rocket at sea for the third time
The landing video from the rocket[0] really puts into perspective how much this truly is 'rocket science'. They placed a boat 600km away in the ocean, and the rocket moving at 3000+km/h from 80-ish km up landed on it using some grid fins to steer.<p>I get how it works, how you can do it, but it's still kind of incredible that they actually have 3 times in a row.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jEz03Z8azc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jEz03Z8azc</a><p>Edit: it was 8000km/h at MECO, not 3000km/h.
