Published 2021-12-21
Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Dragon supporting this mission previously supported CRS-22. Approximately twelve minutes after liftoff, Dragon will separate from Falcon 9’s second stage and autonomously dock to the space station on Wednesday, December 22 at approximately 4:38 a.m. EST, 9:38 UTC.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

100th successful landing of first stage. We can only say THANK YOU, SPACEX.
-
I love how SpaceX launched 3 Falcon 9s in a row from each of their launch pads and landed on each of their droneships
-
exactly 6 years ago they landed the first stage for the first time and now they completed their 100th successful landing. Congratulations Spacex
-
Congrats on 100th landing, this is so impressive!
-
100 autonomous, powered landings of an orbital class booster. 6 years ago, that was science fiction. Amazing!
-
Congrats, go SpaceX!
-
100th landing, this is so ground breaking. Lots of hard work has been done this past year. Well deserved. Congratulations spaceX and nasa staff for making this possible and a great and historic moment to experience. Well done on Elon musk on getting person of the year.

This is a SpaceX record for the shortest time for three consecutive launches (69 hours 20 mins). According to vaporcobra on Nasaspaceflight the previous record was 9 days 1 hour 46 mins (Crew-1, Sentinel 6A and Starlink V1 L15 in November 2020), a threefold improvement!

After watching my entire life, expensive first stage hardware fall into the sea after one use, seeing an orbital class rocket landing tail first onto an at-sea barge pad is a wonder to behold. It never gets old and still an engineering marvel the rest of the world is trying to emulate. Go SpaceX and go NASA!

Never gets old!

That descent of the brand new booster into lightning filled storm clouds for the 100th landing milestone though, kino.
-
Perfect! CRS-24 makes history with the 100th booster landing. A well-deserved congratulations SpaceX team.

I never take these landings for granted, this is truly a miracle of modern rocketry. Congrats to all who work tirelessly to achieve these incredible events.
-
Only a light clap at the 100th landing...every day occurence to you guys I guess but...Spacex, don't forget what an extraordinary achievement you've created.

3 launches in a week. Awesome. I only wish my Dad were alive to see this.
