Tomorrow, Space X will launch at 11:20 UTC a Falcon rocket. During this launch, the first stage after released second stage will attempt to land on drone ship in Alantlic. Space X have already did a smooth landing on Altantic but tomorrow it's the first landing on a solid surface. here a video of first stage landing test: Finally, somebody will succeed to follow the path opened by the rocket of Tintin!!

Is it real and true or is it a fake? I think it is impossible to make such a landing with a rocket. It look like play the start video backwards.

Well did they, didn't they, really land on the moon? It does look a bit like Thunderbirds. Replacing those famous and odd lunar shadows to ponder we have rather well behaved cows, apparently unperturbed by what surely would be a significant din.
Still let's see the footage later today at sea.

I did a comparison with Tintin's rocket because this rocket will land on it's feet.

Yes SpaceX success to improve accuracy of landing, first stage landed right in center of a platform in the ocean. Speed was the problem, Falcon 9 landed too hard.
