This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. Nothing like a takeoff/landing of what is basically a very, very heavy grain silo using a Raptor engine. And this just a few days after a successful return of two astronauts from ISS in the Dragon 2 crew capsule.

In some ways it uses the same technology we can use to make a balancing Arduino robot.

SpaceX just posted their footage, some from a drone, and some from cameras on board. Much better! https://youtu.be/s1HA9LlFNM0

The second video was very cool. Less talking and more cool stuff.
They will possibly attempt another 150m hop tomorrow with SN6, but these are all very experimental, so expect delays and scrubbed attempts as a matter of course.
