THAT. WAS. BONKERS!!!!!!!!!!@SpaceX @HoverSlamSpace
Big bada boom, as expected — a crowd pleaser.Once the crew capsule has safely ejected from the booster, the remains shred and go boom. The capsule, off frame to the right, used its Draco thrusters to reorient and came in for a soft parachute landing at sea.CONGRATS @SpaceX!
