SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch, Boostback, Entry Burn - Iridium-4 - 2017-12-22

Launch of SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base on December 22, 2017. It carried 10 Iridium satellites. INCREDIBLE!! You can see the 1st stage shut down, stage separation, 2nd stage engine start, THE FAIRING PIECES! and their RCS thrusters, the first stage boostback burn, AND the first stage entry burn!! UPDATED 12/26/17: Due to many questions about the timeline I’ve updated the description and included a list of events. SpaceX did NOT land this 1st stage on the barge.
