The next best thing to seeing a rocket launch in real life has to be watching it in 4K on YouTube, right?

Elon Musk's SpaceX released gorgeous Ultra HD 4K footage of rockets launching on Thursday, featuring spectacular shots of its Falcon 9 rocket from all different angles.

The footage comes just days before SpaceX will attempt to land a Falcon 9 on a floating platform in the Atlantic Ocean. The test, scheduled for April 13, will be the company's latest attempt to successfully land the aircraft, following an unsuccessful attempt in January.

Whatever the outcome, at least it looks incredibly cool.
