It's the current most powerful rocket

Now its blasted off which is the most powerful rocket in the world?

 

[spitfire]

Launches in about 30m. Only Saturn 5 and the shuttles (USA and USSR) were more powerful. Payload is a sportscar playing Major Tom on repeat. Really.

So they can do all this but they can't set up a camera tripod properly?

 

[Mumbles274]

That double landing was possibly the coolest things I've ever seen

[NoXion]

So they can do all this but they can't set up a camera tripod properly?

Apparently the vibrations involved in landing screw with the antenna.
