In the video, you can see one of the Falcon 9 rockets launch and then land in a single clip shot by the same camera.
The camera was on a ship in the ocean. The drones are used as a landing spot for the first stage of the Falcon 9 rockets, which come back to Earth shortly after launch. This way of landing the boosters allows them to be used again in the future.
The sped-up clip, shot on Saturday night from the deck of the company's A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, shows the Falcon 9 rocket lifting off in the far distance from Space Launch Complex 40. The rockets were carrying satellites for Intelsat.

The rocket leaves the top of the frame. A short time later, the picture lights up as the rocket's thrusters fire up to slow the booster's descent just before it lands on the droneship.
The amazing footage shows the system that has been tried, tested, and pretty much perfect for launching and then landing a first-stage Falcon 9 booster.
It is the first time the launch and landing has been captured in a single clip, and suggests the human equivalent of a dart being thrown from a mile away. Achieving that with each throw.
A lot of intricately designed technology is involved in the system of the company. In the early years of its development, the company suffered a lot of accidents, with the rocket falling over and bursting into flames in the middle of a landing. The first successful landing of the Falcon 9 booster in December of 2015 was the result of many failures.
The way for more than 120 re-flights has been paved by the fact that more than 140 perfect landings of the first stage of the Falcon 9 booster have been achieved by the company.
