There's something uniquely incredible about a return-to-launch-site touchdown at LZ-4. Landing out at sea on a drone ship is amazing, but guiding a massive first stage right back to the coast through fog and clouds requires absolute telemetry perfection. Watching the engine ignite for that final landing burn at T+7:30 to cancel out all that velocity makes rocket science look like standard, everyday procedure. Incredible work by the entire engineering team🛰️

@SpaceX The bird it's named after does this naturally at 300 km/h, locked on target regardless of wind. Evolution had a head start.

@SpaceX Very beautiful. But try something new. Looking at these is boring, brother.

@SpaceX @NRO_gov Falcon 9 is already booked through 2029. Only Starship can relieve the bottleneck.

@SpaceX @NRO_gov Meanwhile JWST just found a new moon orbiting Uranus. Space is having a big week.

@SpaceX @NRO_gov The stock is not the only thing taking off. Already back to launching into orbit. Amazing spirit.
