First failed landing in like 250+ attempts. Meanwhile nobody else has a landing orbital rocket. It was “grounded” by the FAA for like 3 days lol.

We are 1 month away from launch! This is huge. We may have a probe mapping Europa 6 years from now using Ice Penetrating Radar!

Maybe prohibiting them from ATTEMPTING it. Yeah, I can definitely see that.

A free return ticket thrown in, too?
