SAOCOM 1B | Launch and Landing 

So good to actually have the sound so we can hear the whine of the turbines, the pulsing of the RCS and of course the sound of the wind....

The sounds of the RCS thrusters and the legs locking in place. Too cool.

That landed better than a lot of delta airlines I've been on...

I will never get used to seeing a rocket land. That's crazy.

This never gets old, doesnt matter how many times its done.

The fact that this is becoming mundane is incredible.

My grandpa was born in the 20s, bought a house with a garage right by where Birmingham Airport later got built even though my nan said "why do we need a garage?". Sheldon country park is at the end of the runway, he never got bored of sitting on the benches watching the planes take off and land. I know flying is normal these days, but I still feel a little thrill when I see or feel a take off or landing. Right now, watching these rocket launches and landings... It's harder to feel that way because it's so far outside my everyday life. I watch in awe, but I hope soon enough it won't be awe but that same tangible thrill as flying. I'm not American but I still fundamentally believe that things keep getting better.

Just imagine what they will be doing in 10 years

This needs a voice at the end telling us: "Thank you for flying with SpaceX."

The fact that this has become routine is just amazing

0:40 when the rockets starts to play a beat

I'm thrilled every time I see a Space-X launch and landing. Too cool.

Love the visible airstreams through those grid fins during landing.

The condensation clouds on the grid fins when going Mach 1 tho 😳🤤

I love the combination between all those sounds especially in space and the raw video without any human interference

Indeed, the sound makes a tremendous difference; a great improvement and addition!

Rocket ASMR. Out of this world. Love the way the thrusters sound.

The grid fins moving through the cloud layer looks amazing.

daymn! amazing to to see the grid fins dynamics in action..thanks to the cloud cover

You have done things that every government on earth combined could not do. This is absolutely phenomenal, your team deserves the highest respect and imitation in other worldly problems we are struggling to solve with bungling governments. Absolute rock stars. Keep it up!

Great to see a return to launch site landing after so many droneship landings!

So... Many space deniers will claim that you wouldn't be able to hear sound in the near vacuum at that altitude. To you and anyone else wondering: the sounds heard are likely resonating through the body of the booster.

Hands down.. One of the coolest things i've ever seen

0:42 that alien wasn't too happy about being hit by the Falcon 9

The fact that this has audio is the best thing about it :D

0:42 I love that little spinny Iceman! Wheeee!

when a booster that just came back from space at several mach lands smoother then some airlines

The sound (albeit adjusted for the sped up) is what give me the chills! I am a kid of space operas and so on, and even though the space operas got it wrong with sound in air-less space, it still gave you an emotional lift. One such: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_in_Outer_Space That's what happened in this presentation. The sound gives the feeling of power, of purpose and of control. And confidence, too. Good work!

Everyone: This is normal now, space community: IMPRESSES US EVERY TIME

That's so cool at 1:30 the humid air streaming through the grid fins.

I would love to see a full length version of this. Awesome footage keep them coming.....must have played this more than a dozen times.

Great video not because of footage - we knew that by heart now - but because of the sounds!! Those turbo pumps and cold gas trusters firing = awesome!!

I'm so glad that space X has allowed us to come along for the ride. The documenting this event with video has open so many eyes. It is an inspiration to all of us. Thank you....

Honestly the greatest thing i have ever seen in my lifetime, a giant rocket landing itself. That is amazing no matter what, and achieved within 7-8 years of development starting from scratch, purely amazing!

These marvelous videos must be difficult for Boeing employees to watch.

This is truley an amazing thing the talented people of SpaceX have done. Lead by a true visionary. Well done team!

“IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE A MACHINE, IT SOUNDS LIKE AN ANIMAL COMING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE.”, Bob Behnken,

Who else can't wait for SN8 20 km hop!?🚀

When I was a kid back in the 1950s, I loved all those space operas showing needle-nosed rocket ships backing in for a landing. Now I can see it on the news....

Such an amazing feat. This makes me proud to be a Human being.

All in a day's work.

That "sigh" at the end, another successful day at the office.

Still impressive. What a time to be alive! ❤🇦🇷

It is absolutely awe inspiring what humankind can accomplish! Watching this 550+ tonne feat of engineering Falcon 9 launch and land successfully is one of the most incredible things I am so happy to be able to see in my lifetime. Thank you, SpaceX, for attaching this camera. Next stop, Mars!

This is true nerdtertainment. I love how you can see the fins redirecting air, it gives you an idea of how fast this monster is descending.

If no one remixes those RCS thrusters into a kick as beat I will be disappointed.

That is just so awesome to watch over and over, each one as original as it's own.

0:50 first ever sighting of a high altitude seagull.

As a retired NASA Researcher, I am in awe of what SpaceX has done. This video is just too cool, because usually we only see the landing from the perspective of the barge or landing pad. Kudos to SpaceX and to Elon... great job!

The RCS thrusters firing almost made a fire beat there 💯

Well done. For those with short attention spans this video highlights all of the key points in the flight and gives a good feel for the atttude correction and braking.

Perfectly. And in 4k it would be twice as beautiful.

Awesome launch and landing!

I love how the isolated RCS sounds like its playing space invaders or asteroids

It's so amazing .every time I see one of these come back home it amazes me, still to this day. Wait until the Starship booster does it that's going to be really interesting.

I keep coming back

And to think what it will be like to ride Starship down 😬

2:15 when it said "ahhhhhh" I felt that, so refreshing.

The landing is better than my KSP Re-usable rocket creations.

I remember watching the Apollo launches from Cape Kennedy in the 1960's from Melbourne, Florida and wondering what if they could land rockets as well as launch them... Now, that is a reality. To watch this now, it is nothing short of incredible! I am blessed to live to see this.

Can you imagine a Starship landing on Mars or the moon with this kind of video and audio footage?

00:41 - "That’s one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind." Hears Wilhelm scream in background..

Those return thrusters was making a nice rhythm. Nicely done SpaceX keep them coming.

PURE SOUND... just so pure... No fanboy orgasmic screaming and wailing in the background to ruin it!

0:42 stickbug successfully deployed.

Holey moley...this is great! In my 70 years of life, this is one of the most fantastic scientific accomplishments. Wow...

Those "paddles" for steering are amazing! What a smart way of being able to maneuver (as well as the other parts). We have some very smart people on this planet, just a shame they all don't work for good.

I think most of us are living in the best times to be alive regardless, you need to think we are here just so early in history and as long as something/someone doesn’t wipe us out, this kind of stuff is just the beginning of a whole new world. Literally.

Can't wat to see that Superheavy land then launch within hours!

I love watching these landings its such an achievement. Nearly cried watching both Falcon Heavy boosters landing together. Even more impressive when you think how big these things are.

Wow... while other's were dreaming, you guys did it Hats off- from Sri Lanka

This is seriously the coolest video ever! I love hearing the sound of the thrusters and seeing everything from beginning to end. Super awesome!

1:33 oh wow I like that view of the grid fins

sometimes i think... Who dislike this... ? absolutely incredible!!!!

IT COMES WITH SOUND how cool is that.

I need an unedited version of this. Just listening to the sound is amazing!

The sound is nice! Cool thing to hear pumps and thrusters working! Its almost like in The Expanse fight scenes when you hear the machanics and railguns in the same way!

I had to re-watch it 5X. The software coordinating the cold gas thruster/grid fins/gimbled landing burn, each playing a primary role at different altitudes - is nothing short of genius!

That shit will never get old.. Landing a booster rocket engine vertically.. It just blows my mind...

I'd love to see whole-flight videos like this from the interior propellant tank cameras. I'd be fascinated by seeing how the propellant reacts to the forces applied to it throughout a whole flight.

Amazing footage. Really sells the fact that these boosters are re-usable "delivery trucks" for the 2nd stage. Neat to hear the sounds resonating through the hull too... They sure get CLOSE to the landing pad before those legs come down, don't they...???

I love when the grid fins pierce the clouds and you can see a visual representation of the drag they produce.

Yay you posted a video about falcon 9 first stage camera

Shout out to the cameraman holding onto the rocket the whole time

0:42 Kinda neat to see that there are seagulls in space.

Truly, one of the most magnificent films I have ever seen in my 70 plus years on earth!

The amount of calculation done to do this....mind blowing

Love the way it gives a huge satisfied sigh after landing.

0:43 alien animal falls back to earth while screaming 2020 colorized

Possibilities turned into realities. What wonders we can do when we're not all killing eachother over stuff. I'm so happy to have witnessed this and let's not forget the tech that must've gone into that filming rig to give us that little show. To do what we saw there, under those conditions... reliably, is a feat in it's own right.

I still can't believe how we are actually watching and witnessing this kind of technology happening right before our eyes...

i love how the rocket plume expands as it goes into the less dense upper atmosphere and then space

Love the Audio! Adds a whole new experience. Thanks, SpaceX team!

How my parents described their trip to school “back in the day”.

This will never get old

Always excited for any new video from SpaceX

I hope one of these days I can go down and watch one of these in person. It's something truly magical.

Sound?! Cool :D dear SpaceX we want more recordings with sound.

Thanks to the whole SpaceX Team for this awesome footage!!!

some kid's dad must have been REALLY angry when he thew his kid's shark toy at 0:44
