   since march 21, every single falcon 9 landing on one of those drone ships has been a success, overall over 200 ones. To compare: There were only 135 space shuttle missions in 30 years.

     @lain I saw a thing the other day bemoaning that Space-X was the only viable supplier to NASA because other aeronautics companies were making bids for the same stuff at up to 10x as high.

     @sun i kinda was under the impression that all the space x stuff wasn't working right and constantly exploding, but they are so much better than anything else and much cheaper too

     @lain vertical rocket landing is incredible, it literally looks like 1940s-50s cheesy scifi

     @sun their future plans are crazy too:
     
     > In a cost per kilogram of payload basis, a single use Super Heavy Starship can bring the cost down nearly ten times to about $150 per kilogram. However, high reuse of the Super Heavy Starship will bring the cost down to $10-20 per kilogram.
     
     imagine deploying a one ton satellite for $20k
