Joe Barnard of BPS.space shows his model rocket Scout F landing vertically like a SpaceX booster after seven years of attempts. The video documents the successful landing and the build-up to it.

HN cites it as the landmark example of a hobbyist landing a rocket, and recommends the channel for following that progress.
