I think we had some stuff on this elsewhere, as an emerging technology I think it needs sttention.

Sub-orbital shot and re-entry and landing of both booster and crew capsule - and the fourth use of same vehicle!



Compare to the massive NASA vehicles and facilities!

Fascinating video, Gloucester; thank you!

The science fiction rockets of the 50s that did vertical landings were pretty much impossible with the technology available at the time. It's interesting to see the concept come to life now.
