    Landing on wheels is so 90's
    but then even that was "Challenging" for Nasa....

    Was talking about when NASA were landing rockets vertically same as Space x is trying now - successfully - in the early 90's. Google Nasa DC-X.

    My question was more around why the tech hasn't been advanced more by now since it's been nearly 30 years since the first successful vertical rocket landings.

    no need, its only in the recycling age do we see a need for this, before it was all thrown away, wheels or parachutes, even now NASA still has a hard-on for chutes.

    Doesn't answer my question on why they struggle to do this now when it's all been done before. Everyone seems so amazed at the tech even though it barely works and it's been done before.

    EJ Cultists - "Yes Messiah"

    I'll see myself out...

    No one in the last 30 years thought it was worth doing, again..

    and, there probably wasnt a use-case for such a vehicle,, The Shuttle took care of ALL of that (idea).
    Plus a payload thats still out of this world...
    Literally the Shuttle built the ISS,, nothing since( or still) has been able to carry "big stuff"

    I suppose you could bolt some Falcon 9's on the side of a used Shuttle,, catch the 9"s and ---
    do what? expand the ISS? Arent we already doing that? (small bit by small bit! )

    I think the DC-X VTOL idea was a victim of other Agendas..

    The whole MOON thing was a political grab for the popular vote.



    Lucky us.
