We Were Promised…

…a lot of things in the 21st century.Β Flying cars, food replicators, houses in the sky.
Most of it crapped out.
But this…
…is certainly getting closer.

I’m curious…how much government ‘investment” did it take to accomplish this feat?

Scott:
I believe that was Muskβs money. As a private company, it makes sense to reuse anything that he can, unlike NASA that lets their boosters land god knows where. I also know that the launch and exploration capsule, cost about $4.5 million, as opposed to NASAβs $17 million projection. Of course, we all know that the $17 million number would probably end up being more like $30 million.

Yep Boss, your point goes to why I made my snark comment. For me in many ways NASA lost much of it’s credibility when their mission drifted to all things climate change.
Several times I watched on TV as the booster landed on the launch pad, but this is the first I’ve seen a clip of the rocket screaming down from on high…AMAZING!!!
