Must See: SpaceX Falcon9 Site

Wow! This is some technological marvel. Lifts off beautifully as a drone stationed high above the launch pad videos the falcon9 rocketing up to where they practically meet at 250 meters altitude. Then, just as gracefully it begins to land almost as if the video was running in reverse, the mid-air drone not missing a beat as it videos the falcon9 ever so gently landing on its four legs only minutes after taking flight.

It will make you forget all about the shuttle (maybe).

Obama watching the launch only wishes the drone was armed so he could send it careening back to Earth in one fell swoop having placed himself in his favorite position ready to pray and play (wink wink) facing Mecca pleading with Allah to destroy the infidel's "Great Jihadi Spear".

There should have been an American flag emblazoned on its fuselage.

how large would it have to be to carry the fuel necessary to escape the earths gravity and to land again. didn’t the Saturn 5 use all of it’s fuel?
