Because America!
When every major space agency on the planet tells you it’s impossible to land and reuse a multi million dollar rocket….do you quit trying to build one?
The parents of all these young scientists at SpaceX deserve some recognition for teaching their kids to never quit. In a land full of Lebrons it’s really good to still have some Einsteins…or Musks for that matter.
It’s a great day to be an American and an even better day to be a geek.
