Watched the news a couple of days ago, with great interest in the SpaceX rocket launch/programme.......
So how does the biggest, heaviest rocket ever made, after being launched and flying halfway around the world, manage to ' gently land', arse end first into the ocean ? I mean, this thing is 400 ft long, falling to earth at god knows how many hundred miles an hour, presumably head first, but somehow can stop and do a 180, then ever so gently and controlled ' land' in reverse ?I
I don't get it, but it's pretty awesome
