There hasn’t been anything like this in humanity for a very long time. It’s so emotional to watch and see what we are capable of and the bright future ahead of us. Thank you for everyone who made this happen.

I feel like the first live HD stream of reentry plasma from the early Starship tests were slightly ahead of this in terms of awesomeness. Entering the atmosphere, everyone expects it to go dark for a couple of minutes, just like during every reentry in history... lo and behold Starlink sends a decent stream ( the first one wasn't perfect, second one was ).

My mind exploded watching that plasma.
