Johnnyaardvark Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I know some of you will be aware of this already but have to say I'm impressed. They have finally done it! They must have been pretty confident this time as they returned it to Cape Canaveral.

Nah, they'd have to have it landing through a round house into an underground silo for that. Whilst the smoke goes the wrong way...

BAZ Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It's been done properly this time though and deployed paying customers goods. How many nails would you have left if your bit of kit was going up in it? It's a fantastic bit of engineering that has got both camps to this stage and I don't think I'll ever get bored watching them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 No doubt, a very impressive event. I would have held back a few seconds on the celebrations though, just in case it toppled over lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
