Epic SpaceX Rocket Landings

The Storyline of this video is a series of SpaceX remarkable accomplishments, milestones that reshaped the space industry.

Epic SpaceX Rocket Landings
Events in chronological order:

Landings of Falcon 9 first-stage booster (22 December 2015)
Falcon 9 flight 20 also known as Orbcomm OG2 M2.It was the first time that the first stage of an orbital rocket made a successful return and vertical landing.
Prior to this flight, SpaceX's two previous attempts at a vertical landing and booster recovery ended in failure to recover the rocket. The success of flight 20 marked a significant milestone route to the company's goal of creating a reusable rocket system that would significantly reduce the cost of launching payloads into orbit.

Flight 23 CRS-8 (April 8 2016)
Was a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station (ISS)
After boosting the payload on its orbital trajectory, the rocket's first stage re-entered the denser layers of the atmosphere and landed vertically on the ocean landing platform Of Course I Still Love You nine minutes after liftoff, achieving a long-sought-after milestone in SpaceX reusable launch system development program. The recovered Falcon 9 first stage (SN:B1021) from this mission became the first one to be flown again.

Falcon Heavy (6 February 2018)
Falcon Heavy has the highest payload capacity of any currently operational launch vehicle, and the third-highest capacity of any rocket ever to reach orbit, trailing the Saturn V and Energia.
The rocket carried a Tesla Roadster belonging to SpaceX founder Elon Musk, with a dummy dubbed "Starman" in the driver's seat, as a dummy payload.
Falcon Heavy has more lift capability than any other operational rocket, with a payload of 63,800 kg (140,700 lb) to low Earth orbit, 26,700 kg (58,900 lb) to Geostationary Transfer Orbit, and 16,800 kg (37,000 lb) to trans-Mars injection.

Crew Dragon Demo-1 (2 March 2019)
This first spaceflight was an uncrewed mission and was the first orbital test of the Dragon 2 spacecraft. The spacecraft tested the approach and automated docking procedures with the International Space Station (ISS), consequent undocking from the ISS.

SpaceX Crew-1 (16 November 2020)
Was the first operational crewed flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft.
Crew-1 was the first operational mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in the Commercial Crew Program.

SpaceX Starship (first test 9 December 2020)
The first complete Starship test article was SN8, which crashed upon landing on 9 December 2020. On 5 May 2021, SN15 became the first test article to land successfully.
