I find it very interesting that these new rockets look so much like the ones from the 1950s sf movies.

It is also interesting to me that things like the plasma engines has taken so long to work.
Back in the 60s when i was at RPI we were talking about the possibility's. |

RIP SN9 - wow that was an even bigger explosion.
Looks like SN10 didn't get damaged. |

Understatement of the year so far "We just need to work on that landing a little bit"

Never mind upright landing, I'll be more impressed when SpaceX gets their ship to be able to maintain a circular path over the ground like Flash Gordon does.

Well, straight up is relatively easy, landing is harder, but making a cylinder fly in a circle requires a special breed of engineering (or a wire and nail offstage)
