In summary, the Falcon 9 rocket takes off vertically with nine Merlin engines powered by liquid oxygen and kerosene. The first stage separates and descends back to Earth while the second stage continues to carry the payload into orbit. The first stage then lands vertically on a landing pad or drone ship. This rocket is designed to be reusable, making space exploration more accessible and cost-effective. Its landing accuracy is within 10 meters of the intended spot thanks to advanced navigation and guidance systems. Multiple safety measures are in place for a successful landing, including backup systems and a dedicated team monitoring the process. The ability to land and reuse the Falcon 9 rocket has significant benefits for space exploration, such as reducing costs and paving the way for more ambitious missions

Not sure where the Rocket Science forum is so I'm putting it here.

Much of it is split screen from the ground and the rocket.

The control wings are very like those on the MOAB. Interesting.
