Anybody see the "Falcon 9" successful take-off and landing?

Private enterprise may further space travel today more than reliance on government. I think the Wright Brothers are smiling up there.

I couldn't agree more.

Private enterprise will make far more from this than any government ever could.

For years NASA attempted to grow edible plants in a spacelike
atmosphere.

Failure after failure until a 10 YO astronaut's son told him
plants will not grow, and seeds will not germinate, in ZG.
(they use gravity to determine which direction to root, sprouting
in the opposite direction)

He learned this in his 5th grade science class.

NASA fired their team of botanists that overlooked this important fact.

No, but a return with a spot on hard surface landing.
