SpaceX attempt to land a reusable rocket #2
I saw this morning on Business Insider that SpaceX is going to try again to land their reusable rocket on a drone barge. This is how close they got last time.

For those of you not in the know, the biggest cost of trips to space is the rocket that’s usually thrown away after each launch. SpaceX plans to land them safely on a robot boat. When they get it right enough times they’ll start landing them right back at the launch site. Two thoughts jump to mind:
a) Yay for reduce, reuse, recycle!
b) Who wants to buy the drone boat when they don’t need it any more?
Want to watch it live with me, right here at 15:30 EST Sunday? I’ll bring the popcorn.
