Re: pic: SpaceX historic landing
In some very old sci-fi movies, the rockets landed on their tails. Back when I was younger (1970's & 80's) I would scoff at those movies. After all, how ridiculous is it to think that a rocket could land on its tail? We enlightened, future engineers knew that rocket parts either splashed down, burned up, or (if you were really sophisticated) they landed like an airplane.
Fast forward to 2015 and rockets can land on their tails. Go figure....
