I'm curious, didn't another company recently succeed at doing this or something similar? Edited: 12/20/2015 at 09:16 AM by Sector9surf |

Blue Origin did beat them to the perfect landing, but that was just a test flight.
This one is real, actually delivering satellites to space, then landing the first stage to use again. ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill |

WOW, WOW, WOW!
Wish I could have been out there to see it land. I got to stand on the pad and watch the first Space Shuttle land back at KSC (Challenger) in 1984. It was something I had dreamt of since I was a little kid, with my father starting at The Cape when I was 3 in 1954. ------------------------- Dora Hates You |

It sounded and looked like it blew up from where I was in Cape Canaveral, but I now see they did it. Bob3000:I have a new dumb question for you! Does this mean that now they don't have to build any more new rockets...ever? Edited: 12/21/2015 at 07:28 PM by Sector9surf |

thanks for the update SS. any idea (if u can say) if its due to bad juju w/ upper level winds? weird new fuel ? OR maybe its that big assteroid expected to flyby (around same time).
asking for a friend...

The "official word" is upper level winds.
I think they need a little more time to think about things, but that's unofficial, or maybe it is that assteroid (sic)
But they were sending up weather balloons today, very early. ------------------------- Puerto Rico 11 - 24 - 2013

"Yo MaMas Big Assteroid 2013 TX68 will swing by at a distance of between 14 million kilometers (9 million miles) and 17,000 kilometers (11,000 miles) - which is lower than the orbit of geostationary satellites. It's pretty unlikely it'll hit anything in orbit as it sails by, though."
