Great video of the entire launch of SpaceX Starship and retrieval of the first stage. It all looks real to me, but I do wonder how they got some of the shots.

Landing under 7 minutes after launch.

Elon is a brilliant visionary! Glad he is on our side.

Design for ADDITIVE Manufacturing -- The Re-design of Robotic Arm Using 3D Printed Parts Reduced Part Count by 90%+ and a Decrease of 70% in Manufacturing Time.

When a design team is largely freed from “design for manufacturing” (DFM), an entirely new world of opportunities presents itself. With 3D printing, it is often said that “complexity is free.” What was once impossible to make with traditional (subtractive manufacturing) is possible with 3D printing (additive manufacturing).
