- I started BPS.space almost 7 years ago in the fall of 2015 with the goal to propulsively land a model rocket. I had no background in aero, EE, coding, etc so it took a lot of trial and error, but today I finally stuck the landing ππ
- Blue gets to orbit but can't land a booster SpaceX lands a booster but can't get to orbit Hear me out
- Space is so unbelievably difficult, looks like #Chandrayaan2 got really close but may have come in a little hot and sideways. ISRO does so much with the resources they have, getting as far as they did is incredible.
- If you're stoked about this, don't let that energy go to waste! Go build something! You can learn CAD, programming, circuit design, and lots more entirely for free online *right now*Thousands of distinct vehicle and pad criteria had to be met prior to catching the Super Heavy booster. Thanks to the tireless work of SpaceX engineers, we succeeded with catch on our first attempt.

- Replying to @DrChrisCombsEveryone Iβve met on the Starship program is genuinely trying their best to do something new and difficult. If someone was relentlessly making fun of my work like this, I know it would hurt. Theyβve got work to do, but maybe dial it back a bit
- The FAA should let SpaceX launch whatever they want, whenever they want, and the only catch is they have to do it live on YouTube in 4K
- Replying to @CATIAManikinThe supplies must be delivered with very high accuracy, to better aid the hikers
- Me vibing in the payload bay at 210km (I'm stuck and can't get out)
00:00 - SO cool, totally worth coming down here to see this. Real bummer about the ship, but booster stays winning π
