Reminds me of George Pal's "Destination Moon," the first scientifically accurate SF movie I can recall, in which the rocket landed tailfins-down. Very similar in concept to Space X but much simplified.
Never thought a tail down landing would even be possible.
I recall a Saturday morning, back in the 90s while sitting on my throne, a huge couple of booms. Finished up an went outside....old neighbor hollered back at me, that was the shuttle! All I saw was a trail of whatever. It was very odd.
Anyways my hunting lease was off limits as debris was all over East Texas and Louisiana. Just very chilling. Just kinda freaked me out...
