It's still surprising to me that it is worth re-using the boosters. It seems like a LOT of extra effort, payload and risk to have to bring them home and re-fuel them.
Best thing you can do with an electric car if you ask me.
Times have changed. They are planning a new model that will do 0-60 in 1.5 seconds!
Technical a great achievement.
But I genuinely feel that we have our priorities mixed up as a race.
Everyday I see begging advertising for food, water and shelter yet governments and now big business spend billions on space...surely we need to fix things here before we mess up the cosmos with old cars and rockets.
OK some technology may filter down to me (none stick pans etc).But I only see the corporate big wigs getting anything from this over the next 50 years.
Maybe instead of some over paid film star asking me for another £5:00 per month they and Mr Munsk can dip into their deap pockets and achieve somthing we have failed to deliver over the millennia.
Off my soap box now... and yes I know Gates has a foundation etc.
