Just last week, SpaceX performed its second successful barge landing, one that had the rocket coming in at an unprecedentedly high speed. One heck of a trick, and while Blue Origin's vertical rocket landing's aren't as technically impressive for a variety of reasons, they still look righteous, and this footage from April's landing gives us a vantage point we've never seen from SpaceX: on the rocket.

While they don't fly as high as Falcon 9s, the New Shepard rockets built by the Bezos-backed Blue Origin hold a few notable records. They were the first to successfully touchdown after briefly visiting space, and also the first to fly successfully more than once; SpaceX's triumphant barge-landing rocket is due for a second spin, but hasn't taken it yet.

This clip, captured during Blue Origin's third successful landing last month, shows the view below the rocket's ring fin, pointing out and down and just the right angle to see the Earth come into view while the rocket descends, and lick of flames as it makes its final landing.

The New Shepard's leisurely landing here is nothing compared to a Falcon 9's blistering descent—especially the last very high speed one—but while SpaceX is better than Blue Origin providing video live and after the fact, this camera angle is pretty killer. Come on Musk, give this one a shot please.
