SpaceX finally catches part of a rocket nosecone

[longknife]

It’s taking a while to work out the bugs but the private space explorer is beginning to improve with every launch.


For the first time ever,

SpaceX has caught part of a rocket fairing blasted off during the Falcon Heavy rocket launch - allowing them to reuse the precious, $6 million piece of equipment, rather than building it again.

And America is weaning itself from needing the Russians to put our people and equipment into space.

You know Elon blows hot and cold with me. But if he can build a rocket every 12 hours with American ingenuity, know how, and work ethic and show the world how Americans really can get the job done then I tip my hat to him.

This just goes to show if this country would just unshackle the innovators and geterdoners, if the govt. would just get out of the way, if socialism would fade to the background, we could make America great again.

Factually he has less PC and quotas forced on him as compared to NASA to do his rocket marvel showings. NASA also has to deal with corrupted politicians getting their share of projects. Which helps to cause massive increases in parts. Its almost like we are being held back on purpose. But I do not want to believe that.

If big government stay out of the way, private industry is the key to space.
