Thank you for this. National news is only showing the lift off ( yawn ) for this story. Looks like they also worked out and eliminated the controlled crash 80s video game landing that most rockets had in these tests.
The engineering involved in pulling this off is amazing. I would like to see the cost benefit analysis of what this costs per pound compared to disposable rockets, purely from an educational standpoint
I can’t wait until SpaceX brings back one of its Dragon space capsules from space and lands it the same way, on rocket engines instead of parachutes. They plan to do that in the next year or two.
That is way cool
Pretty freaking amazing
