So what is the big deal? The last two North Korean ICBMs have returned to and landed on their launch platform.... A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone. The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots. | |||

My wife doesn't believe that the rocket was able to land back on the launch pad. She watched the video 5x. | |||

Seeing those landing is like watching the imposable. We should just send that video to NK everyday. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain. Jack Kerouac | |||

More like CEP, and less than a meter I'd say. NRA Life Member "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." Teddy Roosevelt | |||

Well, she's correct. It didn't land at the launch pad. The landing pad is about 10 miles away from the launch pad.

That is impressive anyway you look at it. I watched the Apollo program as a kid. It is good to see what the space program can do with modern technology applied to it. | |||

My niece's husband is an engineer for SpaceX. She is working on her PhD in math. I have a feeling their kids will be smarter than their great uncle. And yea, SpaceX does make it look easy. __________________________ | |||

How far down range had it traveled, and thus have to fly / glide back? I'm guessing they have a better computer now working on this than that calculator sized one NASA went to the moon with.  Endeavor to persevere. | |||

| Help! Help! I'm being repressed!  |
That's awesome! I'm kinda more excited about Hyperloop though. | |||

I just watched the webcast of the latest launch from Vandenberg coming only 48 hours after a launch at Canaveral. When the first stage came back for a successful landing, there was a smattering of applause from a minimal group of on-lookers. I went back and watched the first successful landing, back in December 2015, and there is thunderous applause from a packed building. Oh how times have changed. But this is precisely where we should be going, where successful launches and landings come more frequently and with less worry about mishaps.

the reason why there weren't as many people at Hawthorne for the Sunday launch is that most of them drove up to Vandenburg which is about 180 miles north to watch the launch in person they haven't had many west coast launches and this was a good chance for most of them [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||
