The Falcon

Although it does not have that good a version of the video which caught my eye, I really must direct everyone here. Elon Musk has launched his new rocket, the Falcon Heavy, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It’s quite an enormous machine, but what I find awesome was the way they land the boosters once they detach from the main vehicle. They touch down vertically, seemingly ready to go straight back up again. How they do it I haven’t a clue, but the programming needed must have been enormous, and the way the two rockets landed balletically as one was truly beautiful.
