SpaceX DOES IT!

(1/1)

GreyGeek:
Elon Musk's attempt to land the first stage booster back at the launch pad after putting 11 Orbcomm satellites into orbit was met with success this evening!

SemperFiGuy:
I saw the vids online and still find it difficult to fathom this incredible feat.

Here's an interesting comparison of Falcon 9 program to Blue Origins, an earlier program:

And--Elon Musk is an incredible person in his own right.

But then, GG, he's a physics major.

very cool stuff indeed

Greybeard:
SFG "Physics Major." Does that mean that he doesn't need to drink prune juice when he gets to be 70 years old to aid in, well you know...

AFAIK, the Universal Laws of Physics Rule:  Physics are Physics.

And a gallon of Prune Juice requires about a half-carton of Charmin.   (So They tell me.)  They say to buy it all at the same store, same time.

BTW......how would all that work in a space capsule on the way to Mars?
