If you rewatch it, at the 25 minute 30 second mark the 2 stage 1 boosters start their landing. That is still incredible to me.
 
At 12:15pm today CST rocket labs is going to have a launch (weather and issues pending). The cool part about this launch is they actually catch the 1st stage rocket with a helicopter.

Information about the launch

Catch Me If You Can | Electron

Catch Me If You Can is Rocket Lab's 32nd mission for its Electron rocket. It will deploy the MATS satellite for OHB Sweden and SNSA.

I didn't have the sound on, did they miss it?

They just said that the helicopter reported that the rocket was not going to be able to be recoverable in the air, and that it was going to be an ocean recovery. If they said why, I did not catch it.

They have done it in the past, fast forward the below link to 51:54 You don't actually seen them hook it but you see the rocket, parachute and the hook from the helicopter.

Ikr? We can fly them remotely on other planets but can't catch a rocket here with one.. wtf?

It's not like it's rocket sci... oh wait.. 🚁🚀🥅
 
Maiden flight for RS1 rocket for ABL Space Systems. They idea is to make the rocket simple so they can rapidly reproduce rockets quickly and all in house. Their company moto is "Even rockets can be simple". They are made to fit in shipping containers so they can move them around to launch sites quickly. Also they can launch from anywhere with a 50x150 ft cement pad.

Currently there is no Live Stream. If that changes I'll update it here.
 
I haven't posted for quite a while. The world is launching rockets about every 2-3 days. Here is a few things coming up if anyone cares.
EDIT: You can use those links to watch after its launched also.

Last night Mitsubishi Heavy Industries tried to launch their H3 rocket but it failed. Bad part for us is it basically just fizzled, no explosions or anything. They have pushed their launch out 10 days from now to try again. Failing starts at 56:10.

Today starting at Noon CST - SpaceX is launching more Starlink Satellites
Info Link

Today Starting at 9:45pm CST - SpaceX is doing another launch of a Satellite
Info Link


Notable:
SpaceX is going to launch another 4 person crew into space on Sunday the 26th early early early in the morning. I'll try and remember to post a link once they do. Here is some quick info on who is going - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Crew-6

Also twice in the last 2 months a Russian ship hooked to the ISS has suffered a Coolant leak. The most recent one also depressurized the ship. The 7 person crew is not in any danger but that's not exactly something you want to hear when you are traveling around earth at 17,500 MPH and orbiting earth every 90 minutes.. Once the above mentioned new crew arrives, 4 people will go home on that ship... With the most recent mishaps, I bet they'll be overly excited to leave.
