What's that I hear? You want a video shot from the first stage showing the coasting ascent to nearly 100miles altitude followed by flying arse-first back to earth at 5,000mph, firing your engines and then going all the way down to landing? Well it just so happens...

Lol, that guy clearly has his tinfoil hat on a bit too tight.

Murphy's Law of Combat Operations # 8: If at first you don't succeed... call in an airstrike.

"I don't understand it, therefore it's a lie" - thankfully not how it really works, else if we were limited to the capacity of the dumbest f**k mouthbreathers on youtube we'd still be cracking rocks together and being startled by the sparks :v

Gorgeous little teaser video, high-def and slowmo footage of the ascent and descent of some of their past rockets. Especially of note, at 0:36 you can see the first and second stage exhaust interacting :D
