SpaceX has released a 360-degree view of its reusable rocket landing on a drone ship, and it’s a thing of beauty.

The company was able to achieve this incredible milestone on April 8, when the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket landed on the barge called "Of Course I Still Love You." The video was filmed by remote cameras on the autonomous spaceport drone ship (the technical term for the barge), and it puts you right at the center of the action.

You can check out the video below.
