I mean, sure, It's neat as a space geek. But it really doesn't hold a candle to what SpaceX has done.

I wouldn't say Bezos is at Musk's level of out-of-the box thinking or altruism, but he's got more money to throw at everything, which can make a difference. |

Obviously the whole point of SpaceX is sending people to Mars, and they hope to be sending people to ISS next year. |

I can't wait to see Falcon Heavy fly. Last I heard, they are still planning on a launch this summer.

As for the launch, Elon has described it as a "high risk" mission, so I'm guessing they're confident enough in the used cores that they don't think they will be the cause of a failure. And if they're worried about it making it in the first place, better to dump two previously-flown boosters than a new one. |

You guys, I know this is super old news and is basically the convention at this point, but the vertical landing is just SO scifi. I can't believe it's actually happening. One of the few stupid things that were seen as futuristic back in the 50's and on has actually come to fruition.
