After SpaceX's routine Falcon 9 launch to the International Space Station yesterday afternoon, the company took a stab at the extraordinary. They tried to land the main stage of their rocket as it fell back down to Earth (a feat that has never been done before). Landing a rocket after launch would mark the first monumental step toward making reusable rockets a reality, which could drastically bring down the cost of spaceflight in the future.

Pretty soon after the launch, however, SpaceX relayed the bummer news: Like their last landing attempt in January, the rocket hit its target a little too hard and could not be recovered. But now, new video released by SpaceX reveals that the initial reports of a crash don't do the company justice. A 6-second Vine shows that the rocket did indeed stick its landing--only to fall over afterward.
