Ok, that was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life.
Huge leap forward for space travel.

Awesome! And just think, they keep having to fight the FAA to prove their "Culture of Safety" matches Boeing and other dumb shit like that.

Slept in my contacts last night. This did the refresh job nicely.
What an achievement, it can't be overstated.
This is the rocket booster that propels the shuttle into orbit, correct? Is it a big leap forward just because they no longer have to retrieve that out of the ocean when it lands? What else am I missing as someone who doesn’t keep up with this stuff regularly?

From what I understand, current rockets are one time use only. So every time they launch a rocket into space they have to rebuild a new rocket, which not only takes time but is pretty expensive.
If they can perfect this technology then they can reuse the rockets, which would be a lot cheaper and speed up the process of launching more rockets.
