And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
United Launch Alliance (Lockheed-Martin and Boeing) must be gettin' nervous. When your competitor has developed a reusable 1st stage and every one of yours 'goes in the drink' after each flight, the traditional market forces AND the environmental types will force you to change or lose business.
In the 1950's all the movies SyFi movie's rockets landed this ( except maybe "Forbidden Planet"). This is so cool. Can't wait for when the whole ship comes back in one piece. Probably within 5 years. Millennials have a lot to look forward to in Science.

why don't they ever show the re-entry? how do they turn a rocket 180 degrees without forces tearing it to bits?
ReplyDeleteThere is a post I did some time ago with a video that shows exactly that, from space to touchdown.
