His own space project Blue Origin is doing a lot of good things. New Shepard with custom engines for suborbital tourism, and designing engines for ULA's next generation Vulcan launcher.

Amazon itself may last a while. What else does Bezos invest in?

30% right now

Theoretically 90%+
Only 2% of the cost is fuel. Future SpaceX rockets will be designed with more emphasis on reusabiltiy.

Probably this + it is a bit close to the edge. The amount of fire and smoke was a lot more than before, so probably something failed with the re-entry engines and that caused the fire. Still an impressive feat, 3/4 worked fine and this one was almost successful as well.

AARRRR!
I know, here there are some folks from SpaceX.
Somebody, show this pic to Elon Musk. He is totally pissing me off, crashing his rockets on the droneship and upgrading them for new crasings. He need to improve this terrible platform, not rockets!
Take two old philippine barges, make big catamaran and raise the platform 15-20 meters up! Put many springs (maybe pneumatic springs to prevent rebound) under it, and many arrestor gears from decommissioned aircraft carriers. Rocket needs pretty cool shock-absorber! It needs to extend shorty time of landing overload fckin much longer.

To prevent falling to the side, use top amortized ropes. And "jungle hunter" rope trap which is activated when rocket touches the floor.

Regards from Russia.

>>8144199
the point of the current landing setup is to get test data from ballistic reentries, practice different landing techniques, stress the rocket to failure, and because it can't return to landing site while lofting the payload.

Obviously in your next gen rocket you'll need to build with ample payload so you can do a nice soft landing back at your launch site.
