    I can't get over these two rockets landing simultaneously, side-by-side. How freaking cool is that?

    I hope stuff like this inspires the next generation of engineers.

    Unfortunately, I am most definitely too old for that shit. I did the 'no life' thing earning the degrees that make me eligible for the job....

    It'll be pretty much disintegrated soon, anyway. There's a lot of carbon fiber in a Tesla. Organics don't do well in environments with a lot of radiation.

    Bummer, I don't see a "value line".

    Apparently, that is the "value line". If you need every last pound of force that the rocket can put out to get something heavy up there, so that none of the boosters can be recovered, that'll be another $60 million.

    Even so, that's somewhere between a half and a fifth of the cost of a Delta IV Heavy, depending on which accountant is talking.

    This comment has aged well. The truth tends to do that.
