"The Falcon has landed" | Recap of Falcon 9 launch and landing
Late
last month as 2015 was drawing to a close, SpaceX finally pulled off a successful rocket landing. It was the second such
feat, and the news was huge — reusable rockets have long been a holy grail of
sorts for the space industry as they stand to dramatically reduce the cost of
space exploration.

We’ve already seen an
earlier video of the takeoff and historic landing, but now
SpaceX has released new video footage that has never been seen before.

The new cut is three minutes and thirty-seven seconds
long, and it shows footage from before the launch in Cape Canaveral, Florida as
well as during the takeoff and the epic landing. The landing footage is of
particular interest, of course, and it provides an up-close look at just how
incredible it is that a 14-story rocket like SpaceX’s Falcon 9 can remain
upright as it descends, and then land safely.
