I don't think people realize how insane it is that Stoke Space manged to make a Full-flow staged combustion cycle engine in less than 18 months with a team of less than 10 people, crazy speed and efficiency.

- I don't think people who got into spaceflight after this happened will ever understand just how big of a deal it was. Seeing reentry live like this was completely unprecedented.
00:00 - I still can't wrap my head around how Stoke managed to make this with a team of less than 10 people.
00:00 - This is still one of the coolest videos SpaceX has ever posted, seeing the Raptors dance around is mesmerising.
00:00 - Can we all agree that transporting rockets by train is incredibly cool?
- B1067 has become the first booster to launch and land 30 times.
- B1067 has become the first booster to launch and land 31 times.
- Astra's powerslide may be the most legendary launch failure of all time.

- Stoke Space's Andromeda 2 engine is incredibly unique. It's a single engine which feeds 24 thrusters around an actively cooled heatshield allowing the second stage to reenter engines first. It's also designed to operate in both sea level and vacuum conditions.

- "If it was methane it'd be igniting in the flare, correct?" is still one of the funniest quotes of all time purely due to the timing.
00:00 - One of the most insane shots of Falcon 9 landing I've ever seen.
