I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself.

A neat but quick video from Earth/ Sky News shows the Falcon 9 rocket returning safely to its launch pad. Look closely. It's not a big picture, at least the bottom video I watched.

i think its cool
it uses same tech as out SYFI movies of the 50s , 60s
top video is lots closer view
dont know why NASA never tried that with all the billions $$$$$$$ they used up
NASA never had the technology and couldn't risk the human losses.
Really way cool, thanks for sharing Fred.
Cool tidbit!
Rusty, the companies supplying the International Space Station with their privately built rockets/etc. did so with heavy direct help from NASA. I'm not talking about the companies benefiting from the decades of knowledge NASA has learned about space flight (although that's true, too.). No, NASA had specialists working with these companies to help them get off the ground. No pun intended.
