If you have a few minutes, watch the video embedded below, the webcast of SpaceX’s CRS-8 Dragon launch and the subsequent landing of the reusable first stage on the floating drone raft.

Watch in full screen mode. It makes all the difference.

If you don’t have the time to watch the whole thing, jump to about 18:50 for the liftoff, then about 27:22 to watch the first stage attempt its landing on the drone ship (named “Of Course I Still Love You”. Really.)

The deafening applause you hear is the emotional outburst from a control room full of SpaceX employees who have made this attempt 4 times before, only to watch their dreams crash and burn. This is a beautiful video, full of beautiful moments.

Way to go, SpaceX!
