That rig sure did seem to accelerate quickly off the pad! Much quicker than the old Satern Vs. that launched the shuttles. Either more powerful, or most likely way lighter overall weight.

Yep the returning boosters are awesome . I did hear that the main booster ran out of fuel on its return run to its landing barg at sea. I think some outfit had been practiceing those landings on barges at sea, for some time.

Great technology for sure. To have the boosters being reusable.

I've also heard that it was not planned to go into orbit, rather head on out into space away from earth. I had not thought that they intended to separate the payload from the cargo bay?
Are those car in space shots supposed to be real?
