lol, how is the audio annoying? Those are literally the engineers who worked on this, one of the most difficult engineering problems in human history, having nailed it on their first try.

If you want pure rocket audio, look into cosmic perspective after a few weeks.

Their first try?

The first time they tried to catch with the chopsticks, it workes without blowing up the whole launchpad.

When they did this with the Falcon 9, it took several flights to get a landing without significant damage to the drone ship, the booster, or both.

Pretty impressive that they got it to work right out of the gate with the Super Heavy Booster

It also proves the importance of progressive integration tests even if they’re destructive. The amount you can learn by actually putting everything together is just fundamentally necessary to make sure these complex systems work.

Well, this time around, even though a different mechanism was used, they had all the Falcon experience to draw from, which shortens development.

Never been attempted before.

You know when you try, and try and try and try and fail every time...

But then you scratch your left tit and try again and you finally make it?

You made it first try after scratching your tit!
