Not easily impressed...
Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2018 2:16 amI am not easily impressed. Oh I find things interesting, appealing, etc. but I have to say watching the two SPaceX booster rockets come down together and land on their flaming tails at Cape Canaveral was FREAKING AWESOME.
The news came on and showed the whole thing launch, so great to see a successful heavy lifter actually work. I was pleased for them. And I enjoyed seeing the cargo they launched into solar orbit was a automobile, yes a convertible car, complete with astronaut sitting at the wheel. A mannequin of course. I loved that.
But when they showed the two falling boosters power up, flip out their landing legs, and blast their way back to earth, landing erect on their pads. I have to say I am impressed.
60 years later, the Werner Von Braun I watched on TV and the movies like Destination Moon, are coming into reality.
Bravo.
