SpaceX lands Falcon 9 rocket!

Well there you have it. SpaceX have successfully launched and landed the Falcon 9 and without so much a scratch on the surface of the lander. Well maybe one. After deploying 11 ORBCOMM satellites the Falcon 9 began its journey back from its 100km hight landing vertically on the floating barge to cheers and hugs from all the ground staff. This marks a significant leap forward in the reusable rocket market. The cost savings for such a feat will pave the way for privatised space flight and make the cosmos more accessible both to private enterprise and to space tourism. I think Elon Musk should seriously consider a move into FTL technology
