I liked it better when you simply said 'flawless' but I see you went back and edited your reply when the conversation went the other way.
At least others below seem to appreciate the engineering that went into the backup and emergency systems.

Flawless comment edit. Grow up man-baby

Wow. That is an amazing deployment of back-up safety features. Lots of bleeding edge tech to make that happen so flawlessly

I know, right? It's like she's shocked for 30-45seconds; no commentary and then it turns into an advertisement for how safe it is, lols.

power of those excape booster are insane... pulling away like a bat out of hell...., is it the thin atmosphere? I realise it's got inertia in line with the liftoff vehicle..... fucking hell though.
I got some Space X bias.... i'd jump on a flight right now.... I think. Maybe a few chill pills....but yea, this is surreal and safety first apart from the riding a bomb part!
You can't escape an unregisterded explosion right?

Wonder how many g on impact?
(Old Spike)
seems like 0 .......if you watched the above clip!

The capsule hit the ground fairly hard.
(Old Spike)
to much dust to see in the first clip, so powerfull that they lift the pod a second before touchdown

Agree with you. Did those retros even fire? She said the plume of dust meant it did but I'm skeptical.
(Old Spike)
would be no plume without the retros me thinks,,,,, but i've been wrong all week!
(Site Administrator)
ha! no, you may be right. Or not as big a plume. They must have fired, I mean the thing seems to be quite intact there on the ground. Haven't seen any follow-up news on it yet.
(Old Spike)
OK, so the dust was because of some rocket engine softening the landing? Clever!
