Whatever technology SpaceX has developed to land those booster rockets should never be shared with anyone, outside of the USA.

The ability to land the boosters and reuse them, saves an incredible amount of money, the technology must be fairly difficult to reproduce since no other company or nation that launches rockets has been able to duplicate it.

I’m in awe of the technology. I know it’s real, but it just doesn’t look real.

200th launch? Pshaw. NASA could have done that.........40-50 years ago.
Reusable rocket? Housefeathers. NASA said that was Buck Rogers shite. Unless one of their pet contractors(Lockheed Martin Corporation, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman) got a contract with the usual Cost Plus and open deadline and lots and lots of kickbacks. Then maybe it could be accomplished by late in the 2090s and with several trillion dollars. Several several trillion dollars.
