    Yea, but not in the good way. ;)

    They've tried several times in the past to land the first (reusable) stage on a platform off the Florida coast, but it keeps falling over and blowing up. As Elon Musk said, it's pretty much not reusable after that. ;)

    The Germans landed plenty of rockets in London back in the 1940's. :idea:

    But they didn't reuse them afterward. It is kind of ironic though, as the Space X Dragon rocket is the second version, or "V2". ;)

    That looks remarkably similar to the launch of the Obamacare website.
