The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Blue Origin successfully launches and lands a rocket
Obviously the people in space part is not real, but dang, that rocket just came in at speed and landed it's little self with no apparent problem. Whoever wrote the code for those landing algorithms should get a raise.

SpaceX tasked the test guys in McGregor, whose job was to test the engines for all SpaceX vehicles, with setting up and doing the same thing shown here back in 2012 and 2013. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper_(rocket).
There is a significant interest in space tourism....and whatever the human mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
