Who else is simply amazed re the technolgy that SpaceX developed to land the expended rockets after launch - either at the Cape or an ocean barge? And catching the Payload's fairing after its jettisoned.

I recall the first time I saw a SpaceX rocket landing on its 4 legs - like dropping a pencil and it lands on the eraser straight up....

SpaceX just launched another rocket from the Cape, and yep - recovered it yet again. amazing.

IMO NASA contract out about everything to good old contractors that skim billions with old school results. Space X will be leader in space Industry, unless p-o-l-I-t-c-al influences the usual government contracting.

It’s fantastic what Space X has done. Finally we are back in space.
