This was super epic to watch. It's really cool to see the development process. The raptor has been called the most advanced engine in the world, and this 150 meter hop seems like a really nice milestone. 60 second burn, successful lift-off, and landing as well!

Just 12 months ago the head of France's space program said that the BFR and Raptor Engine were science fiction.

It's amazing that even experts in the field can't predict with any kind of accuracy what SpaceX can and will achieve.
